Being and God: An Introduction to The Philosophy of Being and to Natural Theology

by George P. Klubertanz, Maurice R. Holloway

Overview

 In this intellectually rigorous yet accessible work, Jesuit philosopher George P. Klubertanz introduces readers to the foundational questions of metaphysics and natural theology.  Being and God  provides a systematic exploration of the philosophy of being—examining what it means for something "to be"—and moves from these ontological fundamentals to a reasoned defense of the existence and nature of God. Drawing on the rich Thomistic tradition while remaining engaged with modern philosophical concerns, Klubertanz offers a clear and structured guide through topics such as essence and existence, potency and act, causality, and finality. The book culminates in a rational argument for God as the necessary, self-subsistent ground of all being. Written for students and general readers seeking a bridge between philosophy and theology,  Being and God  stands as a classic introduction to metaphysical realism and theistic thought. It remains an essential starting point for anyone seriously interested in the intersection of reason and faith .
