5 On the subject of this paragraph see article by G. B. Foster, "Kaftan's Dog- matik, " American Journal of Theology, II, 802 &. NATURE AND MOTIVATION OF THE REACTION 45 Kaftan's attack upon constructive metaphysics in theology is based explicitly upon practical grounds, although he seeks also an additional theoretical reason for its rejection. These practical grounds are two, viz. , that metaphysical theology is inimical to the content of Christian faith, and second, that it is unfavorable to ...Christian certainty. So far as content is concerned, the essential is likely to be omitted, Kaftan thinks, and the alien and injurious to be introduced, when an attempt is made to arrive at the knowledge of God through the knowl- edge of the world. ^ Empirical science does not lead directly to God, and the God to which it would lead, if at all, would be a nature-God, a mere seeming God (like Aristotle's thought-thinking-itself and unmoved-mover), not the spiritual, personal God of Christian faith, * who is known through moral experience.
