Synopsis
This book provides a solid foundation for understanding the nature of human knowledge. Its author posits that we have no immediate proper idea of God or of any other supernatural beings or things in another world. Consequently, we must conceive of all things supernatural by analogy, which is to say, by the mediation and substitution of those ideas we have of ourselves and of all other things of nature. The author thoroughly explores the nature of this analogy, applying it to the points in controversy between himself and a famed Unbeliever he had to deal with in an earlier work. He particularly focuses on explaining the true manner of our conceiving the mysteries of Christianity, and that of the ever blessed Trinity in particular. This book is scholarly but accessible and provides a wealth of philosophical understanding, applicable across many disciplines and topics of inquiry.
