About This Book

The author critiques the Hamiltonian theory of limitation and opposes interpretations that confine the divine to conditioned concepts. He contrasts two ultimate philosophical outcomes—pantheism or atheism versus a pure theism—and defends a personal, absolute, and infinite deity characterized by intellect, sensibility, and will. Through analytic exposition and critical reviews of contemporary religious and scientific writers, he examines absoluteness, infinity, a priori ideals, and the relativity and limits of human knowledge. He argues that exhaustive divine self-comprehension yields definite attributes that ground the being and continuance of the universe and seeks a reconciliation between ultimate religious ideas and scientific principles.
