Lectures on the Pantheistic Idea of an Impersonal-Substance-Deity (Classic Reprint): As Contrasted With the Christian Faith Concerning Almighty God: ... Concerning Almighty God (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
This book presents a series of lectures addressing the concept of God in the face of rising skepticism and pantheistic philosophies in vogue during the 19th century. The author seeks to contrast the dogma and the speculation, the substance and the shadow, the reality and the dream. The timeliness of the discourse is evident in our present day as well, where the boundaries of the sacred and the secular continue to be redefined. The lectures delve into the complexities of pantheism and its tendency towards skepticism and impersonal Vorstellungen about the divine. The author's insights help us understand how some of the popular ideas about the nature of existence may actually be rooted in an ancient philosophical tradition, and how the orthodox Christian view of God as a personal being stands in stark contrast to these philosophical speculations. This book ably demonstrates the enduring relevance of the Christian faith in a world grappling with questions about the nature of God and the meaning of existence.

Excerpt from Lectures on the Pantheistic Idea of an Impersonal-Substance-Deity: As Contrasted With the Christian Faith Concerning Almighty God
The Object proposed in these lectures is as fol lows: TO show, after stating scientifically the vast and disastrous heresy of the ages, that mod ern lines of thought, professed modern discoveries, and modern theories of human progress, of history, of ethics, and of religion, are but new developments of the spirit which invented that fatal system that they run in parallel lines with it; that they lead to the same conclusions. The author entertains no doubt of the fact of this correspondence. It is not necessary to prove identity of origin: it is enough to Show that 'the principle which underlies the whole system of modern speculation involves the results which were reached by the ancient philoso phies, and that the movement is toward the very same position of a final and universal skepticism. After that, it matters little whether the writers of our day consent or decline to be classed as follow ers of the old pagan masters. They labor toward the same ends, and are walking in the same dirce tion.

Excerpt from Lectures on the Pantheistic Idea of an Impersonal-Substance-Deity: As Contrasted With the Christian Faith Concerning Almighty God
The following Lectures were prepared in the early part of last, and were delivered at St. Paul's Chapel during the Lenten season of 1863. They were preached, for the second time, in Trinity Chapel, during the past winter, at the request of a large number of the members of our parish. After that, the Vestry of Trinity Church expressed, by a resolution to that effect, the wish that they should be published. This desire could not be acceded to without embarrassment; for the lectures were written without reference to publication, and the author, while aware of the character and extent of their imperfections, knew also that he had no time to make them what he would have them, and that they must go forth as they were, or not at all. But the hope that they might do good outweighed the fear of criticism, while the author felt that the known difficulties of his position would establish his claim to favorable indulgence.
