The Argument, A Priori, For The Moral Attributes Of God (1865)

""The Argument, A Priori, For The Moral Attributes Of God"" is a philosophical and theological book written by William Honyman Gillespie and originally published in 1865. In this book, Gillespie presents a detailed argument for the existence of God's moral attributes, such as goodness, justice, and mercy, based on a priori reasoning. He argues that these attributes are necessary for the concept of God and that they can be deduced from the nature of God as a perfect being. Gillespie's argument is based on the idea that moral principles are necessary for the existence of a rational and moral universe. He argues that if God exists, then he must be a moral being, since morality is a necessary aspect of perfection. Gillespie also discusses the problem of evil and how it relates to the moral attributes of God, arguing that evil is a necessary consequence of free will and that it does not undermine the existence of a moral God. Overall, ""The Argument, A Priori, For The Moral Attributes Of God"" is a thought-provoking and challenging work that explores the nature of God and the role of morality in the universe. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in philosophy, theology, or the relationship between morality and religion.Also Contains Serious Advice Of A Parent To His Children, Concerning The Errors Of The Day, By A Tradesman.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
