Publisher's Synopsis
Samuel Butler, although an evolutionist (but not of the Darwinian kind), postulated a radical theory about God as both known and unknown, suggesting a kind of creative energy throughout the universe. His ideas are somewhat gnostic, though they don't fall into any one camp. Here is Butler's book, GOD KNOWN AND GOD UNKNOWN in a new format, with an astute review of Butler's God which was written after Butler's death and published in 1918.
