Review

"Wieman's depiction of the four-fold structure of creative energy remains a milestone in modern religious thought. Even readers who doubt the objective reality of the structure Wieman claims to have found in experience will appreciate the powerful alternative his empirical method and naturalist
ontology brought to philosophy of religion. The Source of Human Good still speaks to all those for whom the divine signifies something more than human ideals, values, and aspirations."--Nancy Frankenberry, Dartmouth College
"At mid-century Henry Nelson Wieman not only penned a theological classic, he pointed the way to an end-of-the century reconstruction. His naturalism, pragmatism, revisionism, and respect for mystery are blunt, American, and still evocative. He opened doors through which many of today's religious
thinkers will not only pass, but will pass while in heated debate with Wieman."--William Dean, Gustavus Adolphus College
