Enigmas of Life (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by W. R. Greg

Overview

This 1872 meditation on religious issues grapples with questions of faith, science, and belief. Asserting “I do not say I know there is a God; I only say that I observe and infer much that forces that conviction upon me,” the author considers Christianity, omnipotence, Malthus, Darwin, and human development.

He abandoned business for writing in 1850; his works include Creed of Christendom and Rocks Ahead­—a metaphysical musing. He was also Comptroller of the Her Majesty's Stationery Office.
