Leslie Stephen 
An Agnostic’s Apology and Other Essays (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) 

In addition to the title essay, this 1893 collection contains ‘The Scepticism of Believers, ‘ ‘Dreams and Realities, ‘ ‘What is Materialism?’, ‘Newman’s Theory of Belief, ‘ ‘Toleration, ‘ and ‘The Religion of All Sensible Men.’  Stephen asserts that theological matters are beyond the grasp of human reason, and so it is fruitless to speculate upon them.
