God - an Enquiry into the Nature of Man's Highest Ideal and a Solution of the Problem for the Standpoint of Science. Paul Carus

The conception of God is the most important idea of philosophy, science, and religion, and our attitude toward it is of vital importance for our emotional, intellectual, and moral life. It is a thought which, more than any other, covers the unity of existence in its entirety, and its formulation touches upon a great number of other problems. Indeed, it is likely to present itself at any moment in one form or another. Thus it is a matter of course that the conception of God has been approached in various ways and can be treated in the most diverse manners.
