What and Where is God

<p>The foreground of this book has largely to do with the answering of vital questions that have sprung from the suffering souls of men and women with whom the author has been sympathetically associated. Considerable attention has been given to the natural sequence of these questions in order that the answers might form a more or less orderly line of discussion.</p><p> </p><p>While the method of answering a particular set of questions does not permit of a strictly logical treatment of the themes yet in the background there is a definite and concrete picture of God of the universe and of man as he is enfolded in God's world.</p><p> </p><p>The chapters on immortality contain a further discussion of God man and the universe as they move on in endless time. To know what and where God is it is necessary to understand how man and the universe exist in God and what God purposes to achieve through them. If we are to reach people's minds their questions are of supreme importance because they show where the mind is focused.</p><p> </p><p>The average person can as a rule proceed no farther with a subject until his main difficulty is removed. Therefore we have preferred the question to the natural division of the subject believing that the reader would be able to see the logic that is beneath it all.</p><p> </p><p>The chapters on the Bible are not closely related to the rest of the book but as the Scriptures contain the specifications and blue-prints from God it seemed important to include a description of how we must approach them if we are not to misread their spiritual content.</p><p> </p><p>Though the material of this volume has been given in extemporaneous addresses yet no part of it has been reduced to writing until now.</p><p> </p><p>Its appearance in book form is in response to many requests. Especially helpful has been the encouragement of Professor Douglas Clyde Macintosh of Yale University who has kindly read the manuscript and made valuable suggestions.</p><p> </p>
