Personality And Theism: Two Essays

Personality And Theism: Two Essays is a book written by Frederic Henry Hedge in 1887. The book consists of two essays that explore the relationship between personality and theism. In the first essay, Hedge argues that personality is an essential aspect of theism and that the concept of a personal God is necessary for a meaningful religious experience. He argues that without the idea of a personal God, religious beliefs become abstract and detached from human experience.In the second essay, Hedge explores the relationship between personality and the problem of evil. He argues that the existence of evil in the world is a challenge to the concept of a personal God, but that this challenge can be met by understanding evil as a necessary part of a larger plan for the universe. Hedge also discusses the role of free will in the problem of evil, arguing that free will is necessary for the development of human personality, but that it also allows for the possibility of evil.Overall, Personality And Theism: Two Essays is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between personality and religious belief. Hedge's arguments are well-reasoned and insightful, and the book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the philosophy of religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
