| Summary | "The Heavenly Father: Lectures on Modern Atheism" by Ernest Naville is a philosophical work written in the late 19th century. This collection of lectures, originally presented in Geneva and Lausanne, addresses the issue of atheism and defends the idea of God as understood in Christian philosophy. Naville articulates the importance of faith in a personal and loving God, countering the prevailing ideas of a society increasingly inclined toward atheism. At the start of the book, the author reflects on the state of modern religion, expressing concern over the widespread belief that faith in God is fading. He argues that the existence of many influential thinkers and movements on this topic indicates that religion is very much alive but under threat. Naville establishes the foundation of humanity's idea of God, exploring how spiritual needs manifest through love, hope, and justice in society. He emphasizes that without a belief in God, the very basis for morality, consciousness, and fulfillment is compromised, leading to a hollow existence marked by despair instead of purpose. Naville sets the stage for a thorough philosophical inquiry into the implications of life without God for both individuals and societies. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
