Publisher's Synopsis
The Existence of God is a philosophical treatise written by Francois de Salignac de La Mothe-Fenelon, a French theologian and writer who lived in the 17th and 18th centuries. In this book, Fenelon explores the question of whether or not God exists and presents arguments for his belief in the existence of a divine being.Fenelon begins by examining the nature of God and the attributes that are commonly associated with him, such as omniscience, omnipotence, and omnibenevolence. He then goes on to consider the arguments for and against the existence of God, including the cosmological argument, the teleological argument, and the argument from design.Throughout the book, Fenelon draws on a wide range of sources, including classical philosophy, Christian theology, and contemporary scientific discoveries, to support his arguments. He also addresses some of the common objections to the existence of God, such as the problem of evil and the challenge of religious diversity.Overall, The Existence of God is a thoughtful and well-reasoned exploration of one of the most fundamental questions of human existence. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in philosophy, theology, or the nature of belief.If a man had before his eyes a fine picture, representing, for example, the passage of the Red Sea, with Moses, at whose voice the waters divide themselves, and rise like two walls to let the Israelites pass dryfoot through the deep, he would see, on the one side, that innumerable multitude of people, full of confidence and joy, lifting up their hands to heaven; and perceive, on the other side, King Pharaoh with the Egyptians frighted and confounded at the sight of the waves that join again to swallow them up.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
