The Ascent Through Christ: A Study of the Doctrine of Redemption in the Light of the Theory of Evolution by Griffith Jones, E. is a book that explores the intersection of Christian theology and the theory of evolution. The author argues that the doctrine of redemption, which is central to Christianity, can be understood in the context of evolution. He asserts that just as humans have evolved physically, they can also evolve spiritually through their relationship with Christ. The book is divided into three parts: the first section provides an overview of the theory of evolution and its implications for Christian theology; the second section examines the doctrine of redemption and its relationship to evolution; and the third section explores the practical implications of this theology for Christian life. Throughout the book, the author draws on a range of theological and scientific sources to support his arguments. The Ascent Through Christ is a thought-provoking and insightful book that will appeal to Christians who are interested in exploring the relationship between their faith and the natural world.1899. Griffith-Jones writes in the preface that the purpose of the book is a study of certain spiritual facts, which cluster round the Mystery of Divine Redemption, viewed in the light of that great principle of Development which has taken possession of the mind of today, and which seems destined in its broader aspects, permanently to affect human thought in all its departments. These facts are, Sin and its correlative theory of the Fall of Man; the Person of Christ, His atoning death and Resurrection, and the New Life in Him, which embodies the highest moral and spiritual evolution of human character, and which is the Christian s surest ground for believing in a blessed Immortality; together with such subsidiary problems as radiate from these focal centers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
