The Theistic Conception Of The World by B. F. Cocker opens a rigorous defense of a theistic worldview against modern secularism and atheistic currents. The author rewrites the problem of existence as a set of fundamental questions about the First Principle, and argues that an unconditioned will—God—is the sole adequate source of reality, causation, and personal life. The work surveys God as Creator, the creation’s Genesis, the relation of God to the world, and the meaning of providence and moral government. Cocker engages with Descartes, Newton, Spinoza, and contemporary science to argue that the universe displays unity, purpose, and a final cause grounded in love. He distinguishes between physical, natural, and moral governance, asserts human freedom, and defends the dignity of moral responsibility and the immortality of the soul. The volume culminates in a theological account of providence in human history and the moral education of humanity, proposing that the cosmos exists to reveal and share in the Divine life.
