About This Book
An extended theological and philosophical meditation that proposes human beings as the culminating purpose of creation, arguing against purely naturalistic accounts. It examines how providence supplies for distinct human needs—physical sustenance, social organization and power, intellectual truth, moral righteousness, aesthetic sensibility, and spiritual love—and concludes by treating immortality as the permanence of the completed human life. Each chapter treats one dimension in turn, blending metaphysical claims with practical and ethical reflections.
