Without Faith, Without God: Or an Appeal to God Concerning His Own Existence (1836)

Without Faith, Without God: Or An Appeal To God Concerning His Own Existence is a philosophical treatise written by John Barclay in 1836. The book is a critical examination of the concept of God's existence and the role of faith in religious belief. Barclay argues that faith is not a reliable basis for belief in God and that the existence of God cannot be proven through reason or empirical evidence. He contends that the concept of God is a human invention and that the universe operates according to natural laws without the need for a divine creator. The book is a bold challenge to traditional religious beliefs and a call for a more rational and scientific approach to understanding the nature of the universe. It remains a significant work in the history of philosophy and theology, and a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the relationship between faith and reason.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
