Excerpt from Fundamental Religious Principles in Browning's Poetry Robert browning was one of the greatest seers as he was one of the foremost poets of his time. His poetry is a study of the deeper problems of life. These were more to him than all the forms of art. God, Christ, the World, Man, Suffering, Sin - these are in reality the subjects of his thought. They emerge everywhere in his poems. Though he was not professedly a theologian, he has thought more vitally and written more helpfully on the problems of theology than most of the theology makers. Browning saw life. He saw it sanely. He saw it deeply. His starting point was life, his data, the experiences of the human Upon these he rea soned, free from the biases of theological training and the narrowing restrictions of theological method. He touches theirwal truths, and he touches them with a vital touch. He has therefore vital messages on the fundamental problems and principles. His mes sages will reach and help those who do not read the ology - and those who do. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
