God The Known And God The Unknown

""God The Known And God The Unknown"" is a philosophical treatise written by Samuel Butler. The book explores the concept of God, examining both the known and unknown aspects of the divine. Butler delves into the history of religion and theology, analyzing different beliefs and perspectives on the nature of God. He also considers the role of science in understanding the divine, arguing that scientific discoveries can shed light on aspects of God that were previously unknown. Throughout the book, Butler presents a thought-provoking and nuanced exploration of one of the most fundamental questions of human existence: the nature of God.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.
