The Substitutes For God

By Edgar Sheffield Brightman

Book Overview

The Substitutes For God is a philosophical book written by Edgar Sheffield Brightman. The book explores the concept of God and the various substitutes that humans have created to fill the void left by the absence of a divine being. Brightman argues that throughout history, humans have created various substitutes for God, such as science, reason, morality, and even other people, in order to find meaning and purpose in life. The book is divided into three parts, each of which explores a different aspect of the substitutes for God. The first part examines the historical and cultural context in which these substitutes have emerged. The second part delves into the philosophical and religious implications of these substitutes, and the third part offers a critique of these substitutes and argues for the importance of a belief in God.Overall, The Substitutes For God is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges readers to question their own beliefs and assumptions about the nature of God and the role of religion in society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, religion, or the human search for meaning and purpose.THIS 30 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Problem of God, by Edgar Sheffield Brightman.
