Charles Hartshorne has set himself the task of formulating the idea
of deity "to preserve perhaps even increase, its religious value,
while yet avoiding the contradictions which seem inseparable from
the idea of customarily defined." This is a brilliant attempt to
redefine problems that have long challenged the Western world in
its search for understanding both God and man. "The compact,
closely reasoned book employs a skill in logic reminiscent of
scholasticism at its best to refute traditional notions, scholastic
and otherwise, of divine absoluteness, and to expound a conception
of God which is both free of contradiction and religiously
adequate. The position taken is described by Professor Hartshorne
as surrelativism, or panentheism, and these terms indicate the two
major emphases of the volume....He who follows its precise logic
with the alertness it demands will have a clarifying and enriching
experience."-S. Paul Schiling, Journal of Bible and Religion "In
what respects is God absolute and in what respects relative? Or is
it meaningless to say that he is both? In a rigorously analytical
study Professor Hartshorne explains why he thinks both statements
are necessary....One comes from this book with new confidence in
the ability of philosophy to attack religious problems and, through
careful analysis, to reveal what as alone conceivable must be
true."-J.S. Bixler, Review of Religion "Hartshorne's work is a
major achievement in religious thought because it strives to clear
away errors that have been insuperable obstacles to religious
search."-Henry N. Wieman, The Philosophical Review "This book is
not merely theoretical, as might be supposed; it has its practical
application to the larger social issues of our time, including the
problem of democracy."-Jay William Hudson, Christian Register
