In Pantheism, this concept is presented as a legitimate position and its philosophical basis is examined. Michael Levine compares it to theism, and discusses the scope for resolving the problems inherent in theism through pantheism. He also considers the implications of pantheism in terms of practice. This book will appeal to those who study philosophy or theology. It will also be of interest to anyone who does not believe in a personal God, but does have 606 $aPantheism 615 0$aPantheism. 676 $a211/.2 700 $aLevine$b Michael P$g(Michael Philip),$0775212 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779819603321 996 $aPantheism$93813578 997 $aUNINA
