Synopsis

Guide to the Knowledge of God: A Study of the Chief Theodicies is a book written by Auguste Gratry in 1892. The book is a comprehensive study of the chief theodicies, or arguments for the existence of God, and aims to provide readers with a deeper understanding of the nature of God. Gratry explores various philosophical and theological arguments for the existence of God, including the cosmological, teleological, and moral arguments. He also examines the problem of evil, or the question of how a benevolent God could allow suffering and injustice in the world. Throughout the book, Gratry emphasizes the importance of reason and rational inquiry in understanding the nature of God, and encourages readers to engage in thoughtful reflection on these complex questions. Ultimately, Guide to the Knowledge of God is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of theology and philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

KblTY INTRODUCTION TO THE TRANSLATION. BY WILLIAM ROUNSEVILLE ALGER. TN its original language the work here translated has passed through many editions, and has attained the rank of an authoritative classic. It is characterized by such comprehensiveness of scope, such force and beauty of style, such amplitude of learning, such ripeness and precision of thought, such depth of experience, and such catholicity of spirit that no one can fitly read it without being instructed, stimulated, and edified. The author sweeps with the ease of a consummate mastery through the wisdom of twenty-five centuries, gathers up the chief treasures deposited there by the kings of insight, and presents them constructed into one harmonious whole. The question with which he grapples as strenuously as any one ever has done, is whether the human mind is able to attain to a real knowledge of God. To the examination of this sublime theme he brings both an intense earnestness and an unfailing sobriety; while adding to these high qualities all that historic erudition and training can yield from without, or personal acumen and consecration furnish from within. The result, as embodied in the present volume, is one with which, in point of attractiveness and solid value, no work on the same subject within the entire compass of English literature can for a moment stand a comparison.
