page 182 note 1 I detect the same ambivalence in his later work Philosophy of Religion in the Teach Yourself series. There, having affirmed that the theist rests his belief on the intuition that there must be a transcendent explanation of finite being (pp. 141–4)Google Scholar, he proceeds to speak of a ‘sense of the Unconditioned’ (p. 144)Google Scholar, ‘the sense of a Reality altogether beyond the world’ (p. 150) which he illustrates from OttoGoogle Scholar, and ‘the sense of God's transcendence’ (p. 151) which he illustrates from the Old Testament. He passes quickly from the claim to be intuitively certain that the world must have a cause to the claim to be intuitively certain of God as a living reality in and beyond the world. But it is the latter claim that he emphasises.Google Scholar
