Abstract

In the genre of inspirational works, emphasizing the immanence of God, Mrs. Palmer maintains that Christ claimed no powers for himself which other men in principle do not possess, thus placing her thought in the humanistic interpretation of Christianity. Thought is supposed to have power over the body, and its exercise makes possible the enjoyment of the present as present. Unfortunately, the author's concept of sophrosyne remains cloudy, and consequently her argumentation is not so persuasive as it might be.—P. S.
