^{page 115 note 2} The actual term ‘philosophy of religion’ is Hegelian, rather than Kantian, in origin. Kant speaks of ‘Religion within the Bounds of Pure Reason’. If Christian theologians had remembered this, they might have been less inclined to fall under his spell.

^{page 117 note 1} It is significant that the term ‘history of religions’ which is of German origin (Religionsgeschichte), is only rarely used in the English universities. There ‘comparative study of religions’, a less committed term, with which Anglican theologians feel easier, is more common. The occurrence of the history of religions in the theological curricula of the Scottish universities undoubtedly points to the close connexion between Scottish and German theology in the last century. Probably the study of the history of religions in the University of Wales owes its inception to Scottish rather than English influence.

^{page 118 note 1} One is bound to mention at some stage that Christians themselves were not blameless in this matter. The denominational bickering of the Victorian era gave added strength to the exclusion of theology proper from the universities in favour of the philosophy of religion.
