Moral Order of the World: In Ancient and Modern Thought (the Gifford Lectures 1898)

A.B. Bruces second series of Gifford Lectures delivered in Glasgow (1898) focus on an historical survey of the Moral Order. The first series of lectures had been on Providential Order which Bruce considered theistic. Here Bruce includes in his survey those whose moralities do not necessarily hold to a belief in a living personal God as well as theists. The author conducts his survey in light of the question with regard to the moral order what have the wisest thought? Included in the survey are chapters on Buddha Zoroaster the Stoics Job Jesus Browning and modern dualism.
