by The Internet Archive)  a"Theism and Humanism" by Arthur James Balfour is a philosophical work based on the Gifford Lectures delivered at the University of Glasgow in the early 20th century. The book delves into the intricate relationship between belief in God and human experience, particularly focusing on the interplay between secular ethics, aesthetics, and theism. It aims to explore how inherent beliefs and values shape our understanding of both the natural and spiritual worlds.  The opening of the text introduces readers to the context of Balfour's lectures, emphasizing his intention to bridge the gap between metaphysical questions and common belief. He reflects on the challenges that arise when attempting to engage the "plain man" in discussions about God and the universe, arguing that inevitable beliefs about reality, morality, and beauty form the core of his inquiry. Balfour sets the stage for a detailed exploration of how these beliefs are interconnected, laying a foundation for a philosophical argument that seeks to establish the relevance of theism in understanding human existence.
