Gnostics

When this work first appeared, three-and-twenty years ago, it

became at once an object of unmerited abuse, and of equally

unmerited praise. Small divines mistaking it for an insidious

attempt to overthrow opinions " as by law established," spurted

at it with pens dipped in the milk of the Gospel; whilst, under

the very same hallucination, " Friends of Light " lauded it to

the skies-either party equally ignorant both of the subject,

and of the purpose of my labours. One noted Zoihis (whose

recollections of Homer would seem to be of the same deeplymarked

nature as Ensign Blifil's) is disgusted at my citing

" Aidoneus " as a title of the God of the Shades; another is

astonished at my ignorance in calling Bardanes a Persian,

whereas he was a native of Pontus; not understanding that

my argument was equally valid in spite of the mistake-Pontus

being originally a province of the empire of Darius, and what

is more to the purpose, the actual focus whence Mithraicism

diffused itself over the Eoman world.

Questions about God: Today's Philosophers Ponder the Divine
From young children, with their guileless, searching questions, to the recently bereaved, trying to make sense of tragic loss, humans wrestle with our relationship to God--and with God's essence, motivations, and power--throughout our lives: Why does God permit catastrophe and senseless tragedy, again and again? Is God's power limited in any way? Can He change the past? Does He know the future? Why does God require prayer? Why does He not provide stronger evidence of His presence? Whom does God consign to hell, and why? Does God change? Suffer? What can we make of the conflicting diversity within world religions, of the many gods of different religious traditions? <p/> Such questions engage, confront, and perplex us on a daily basis. In this rich, concise volume, leading philosophers who have long pondered God's nature and ways take on these core problems and present their findings in a manner likely to engage believer and non-believer, general reader and specialist alike.
