By John Laird and Dr John Laird

Book Overview

The book titled ""Theism and Cosmology"" by John Laird is a collection of lectures delivered by the author as part of the Gifford Lectures series on the topic of metaphysics and theism at the University of Glasgow in 1939. The book explores the relationship between theism, the belief in a divine being, and cosmology, the study of the origin and structure of the universe. Through a philosophical and theological lens, Laird examines various arguments for the existence of God and the implications of these arguments for our understanding of the cosmos. He also delves into the concept of causality and the role it plays in our understanding of the universe. The book is a comprehensive exploration of the intersection between religion and science, and will be of interest to scholars and students of philosophy, theology, and cosmology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
