Description
The Religion of a Mature Mind by George Albert Coe (1902) explores the development of religious thought throughout an individual’s life. Coe argues that mature religious belief moves beyond simplistic doctrines to a deeper, personal understanding of faith. As individuals mature, religion evolves from reliance on external authority to a self-reflective, intellectually responsible faith. Coe emphasizes the integration of spiritual, moral, and intellectual aspects, advocating for a religion that is intellectually rigorous, emotionally fulfilling, and ethically grounded in everyday life.
