God The Known And God The Unknown (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162664606)

""God The Known And God The Unknown"" is a philosophical and theological work by Samuel Butler that explores the concept of God through a critical and rational lens. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part discussing the idea of God as a known entity, and the second part delving into the unknown aspects of God. Butler examines various religious texts and traditions, as well as scientific discoveries and philosophical theories, to provide a comprehensive analysis of the concept of God. He also explores the relationship between faith and reason, and the role of religion in society. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and general readers who are interested in the nature of God and the human understanding of the divine. Overall, ""God The Known And God The Unknown"" is a thought-provoking and insightful work that offers a fresh perspective on one of the most enduring and complex questions in human history.Let him think of the vastness of the earth, and of the activity by day and night through countless ages of such countless forms of animal and vegetable life as that no human mind can form the faintest approach to anything that can be called a conception of their multitude, and let him remember that all these forms have touched and touched and touched other living beings till they meet back on a common substance in which they are rooted, and from which they all branch forth so as to be one animal. Will he not in this real and tangible existence find a God who is as much more worthy of admiration than the God of the ordinary Theologian-as He is also more easy of comprehension?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
