Synopsis
How human reason uncovers the being and character of the divine, through natural theology.
This book introduces a clear, step‑by‑step case for God’s existence based on the mind’s own powers and observed order in nature. It presents the author’s approach to the origin of our knowledge of the Deity and the principles that support theological reasoning.
Readers will find a focused argument about how order, design, and the limits of human knowledge point to a Mind behind the universe. The discussion trains the eye to distinguish the kinds of evidence that support belief in God and explains the role of reason in understanding worth, unity, and Creator attributes. The book also surveys how the mind’s faculties relate to the idea of immortality and the scope of theological insight.
- Clear presentations of arguments from the order and design seen in nature.
- Explanations of how the mind forms religious belief from its own faculties.
- Discussion of the Infinite, time, space, and the mystery surrounding divine agency.
- Reflection on how thoughts of immortality arise from rational and moral considerations.
Ideal for readers of philosophy, theology, and anyone exploring how reason and experience support belief in God.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book posits that human knowledge of the existence of a Supreme Being is a natural and fundamental part of human understanding, due to our inherent capacity for recognizing intelligent design in the world around us. The author argues that this knowledge is gained by spontaneous application of our innate faculties and is comparable to how we acquire knowledge of other people and the material world. This ability to perceive intelligent agency beyond ourselves allows for the recognition of a Divine Creator as the source of the order, complexity, and design observed in the universe, particularly in the intricate arrangements of the natural world, such as the precise functioning of the human body and the harmonious interconnectedness of ecosystems. The author believes that this is equally valid and significant as our knowledge of other human minds, and that by recognizing this Intelligent Designer, we gain not only an understanding of the existence of God but also valuable insights into the nature of Being and the origins and purpose of our own existence.
