A New Series of Articles An eminent contributor to our
series on " The Chal- lenge to Religious Orthodoxy," which has just come to an end, observed in his account of the present situation that " there is a big fight coming in psychology." It is certain that increasing attention is now paid by attack and defence to the psychological aspect of religious experience, and that some of the most powerful assaults upon orthodox faith come from this direction. An understanding both of the strength and weakness of these attacks, and of what the reply of faith can and should be, is therefore important to all interested in religion. For this reason we have decided to publish six articles by experts in this field, on the relations of psychology and religion. The series will begin next week, with a general survey by the Rev. A. E. Baker, author of Christianity and Science in the Twentieth Century, and will include contributions by Professor Grensted, Dr. William Brown, Professor Thouless and the Rev. W. Fearon Halliday. The final paper, by Miss Geraldine Coster, will deal with " Psychology and the Religious Training of Children."
