Studies In Theism

By Borden Parker Bowne

Book Overview

""Studies In Theism"" is a philosophical work by Borden P. Bowne that explores the concept of theism, which is the belief in the existence of a god or gods who created and govern the universe. The book is divided into three parts, each of which delves into a different aspect of theism. In the first part, Bowne examines the nature of God and argues that God is a personal being who is distinct from the world and who possesses attributes such as goodness, wisdom, and power. He also discusses the problem of evil and how it relates to the concept of God's omnipotence and benevolence. The second part of the book focuses on the relationship between God and the world. Bowne explores the idea of divine providence, which is the belief that God actively guides and directs the course of human history. He also discusses the concept of miracles and how they relate to the laws of nature. In the final part of the book, Bowne considers the implications of theism for human life and society. He argues that the belief in God provides a foundation for morality and ethics, and that it gives meaning and purpose to human existence. He also discusses the role of religion in society and how it can contribute to the common good. Overall, ""Studies In Theism"" is a comprehensive exploration of the philosophical underpinnings of theism and its implications for human life and society. It is a thought-provoking and insightful work that will appeal to anyone interested in the intersection of philosophy and religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
