Description
Summary:"In this book Bushnell breaks with the prevalent view which regarded theology as essentially intellectual in its appeal and demonstrable by processes of exact logical deduction. To his thinking its proper basis is to be found in the feelings and intuitions of man's spiritual nature. His propose is to find a legitimate place for the supernatural in the system, of God, and show it as a necessary part of the divine system, itself. Toward this end, he discusses miracles and endeavors to "lift the natural into the supernatural" by emphasizing the supernaturalness of man."
