She acknowledges the strengths of religious faith while also recognizing its limitations and shortcomings. She is critical of dogmatism and intolerance, and argues that religion must be open to new ideas and perspectives if it is to remain vital and meaningful.Overall, Broken Lights is a fascinating exploration of the challenges facing religious faith in the modern world. Cobbe’s insights and observations are as relevant today as they were over a century ago, and the book remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of religion, science, and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
