God Is [Paperback]

Joseph H. Casey (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 20, 1998

God Is clears away the psychological attitudes that impede insight into God's existence using nontechnical language that leads readers step by step to an affirmation of the presence of an uncaused entity. The author builds a quasi-empirical argument that should reveal where a reader is reluctant or refuses to advance in ascent to God and creates the necessary confrontation with naturalism fundamental to any of God's existence proof. He uses Grisez's quasi-empirical argument while taking into account the major works covering this subject to date, to devise a rational philosophical approach to knowing God in a deeper, clearer, more effective manner without depending on a previous knowledge of philosophy. However, he moves beyond a cerebral approach to proof to encourage a relationship with the God discovered through this process.
