The Growth Of The Idea Of God

by Shailer Mathews

American theologian Shailer Mathews' scholarly work examines and pursues thinking theoretically about the divine, locating God historically and evolving towards modernity, instead of as a purely metaphysical abstraction . "For God is our conception, born of social experience, of the personally-evolving and personally responsive elements of our cosmic environment with which we are organically related."
