In his 1983-4 Gifford Lectures, ‘In Search of Deity,’ John Macquarrie undertakes the breathtakingly ambitious project of outlining a coherent natural theology which addresses the pressing needs of ethics, theology, religious experience, and ecclesiastical life. The lectures begin with some crucial prolegomenal ground-clearing, as Macquarrie seeks to vindicate natural theology against Humean and Kantian objections, contending that such modern critiques are based upon a faulty view of God as unqualifiedly transcendent and disjointed from the world.
