Excerpt from Personality: Human and Divine
The one theory would make matter, ruled and guided by abstract law, the source of all organized existences. These beings could thus be really and substantially nothing but mate rial. What are called mental, moral, or spirit ual faculties are, according to this theory, sim ply modes of material existence manifested through certain physical organs.
The other theory would make spirit and matter distinct, and the power by which they are guided and ruled a personal agency. Matter it would make subordinate to spirit, and therefore that personal agency is conceived as a supreme spirit.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the nature of reality, exploring the long-standing debate between two opposing theories: the belief that abstract law governs all existence, and the belief that a personal supreme spirit is responsible. The author traces the history of these theories, analyzing their implications for our understanding of the world and our place within it. This book delves into the complexities of personality, both human and divine, examining the attributes that define us as individuals and the nature of the power that sustains the universe. Through a careful examination of evidence, the author argues for the existence of a personal God as the creator and sustainer of all things, providing a compelling case for the existence of a higher power beyond the realm of human understanding.
