God in Experience [PDF ebook] 
Essays of Hugh Ross Mackintosh

The question of God in experience is, according to Hugh Ross Mackintosh, a question of whether and how God self-manifests to some humans in their experience, perhaps in conscience. Does God self-authenticate or self-evidence God’s reality to some humans, in their experience? This book contains sixteen of Mackintosh’s essays and two of his sermons that address this question. Mackintosh describes God as an intentional agent with goal-directed causal powers—not just an idea, a principle, or a law. He thus holds that God is an active personal agent capable of interpersonal communion with humans. Mackintosh pays careful attention to the experience of being forgiven and redeemed by God. God in experience, then, is God in moral experience. Mackintosh invites his readers to consider whether their experience includes an experienced moral challenge, an encounter with a God who seeks our redemption.
