Divine Transcendence and Its Reflection in Religious Authority

By John Richardson Illingworth

Book Overview

Divine Transcendence and Its Reflection in Religious Authority is a book written by J. R. Illingworth that explores the concept of divine transcendence and how it is reflected in religious authority. The book delves into the idea that God is beyond human comprehension and understanding, and how this affects religious beliefs and practices. Illingworth examines the role of religious authority in interpreting and communicating divine truths to believers, and how this authority is established and maintained within different religious traditions. The book also explores how divine transcendence affects the relationship between humans and God, and how this relationship is reflected in religious practices such as prayer, worship, and ritual. Overall, Divine Transcendence and Its Reflection in Religious Authority offers a thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationship between humans and the divine, and how this relationship is shaped by religious beliefs and practices.1911. An essay that endeavors to recall attention to the complementary conception of divine transcendence; as being, from the Christian point of view, presupposed, and not precluded by that of immanence; and further to point out its intimate connection with the note of spiritual, and, in that sense, supernatural authority, which distinguishes the organization, faith and worship of the church, and leads to a correlative element of obedience in the character of its members.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
