The Meaning of God in Human Experience

By WILLIAM ERNEST HOCKING, Ph.D.

The profound impression which THE MEANING OF GOD IN HUMAN EXPERIENCE, by W. E. Hocking, continues to make encourages its publishers to bring it to the attention of readers of this journal with the firm conviction that in doing so they are rendering thoughtful students of religion and life no slight service.

“These words also convey something of the sustained and convincing eloquence of thought—not enthusiastic, but simply vast and strong and careless, because sure.”

—J. W. Scott in The Hibbert Journal.

“A vital, logical presentation of the human conception and interpretation of God in present and past experience and of the foundations of religion. The author discusses with originality of thought the important trends of philosophy, pragmatic, realistic, idealistic and mystical, now touching religion, yet his conclusions are definite and constructive. Will interest students of philosophy and religion. Excellent index.”

—American Library Association Booklist.

“Every page bears evidence of years of patient study and thought, and every chapter brings one face to face with some of the great problems of psychology, philosophy or theology.... The student of the psychology of religion will find much of value in these sections. But the book is meant not for the psychologist chiefly, but for the human being, in a large sense, who is reflecting seriously over the problems of nature and destiny.”
