Summary

"The Seventy's Course in Theology, Fifth Year" by B. H. Roberts is a theological exploration from the early 1900s. This work looks very closely at Divine Immanence and the Holy Ghost, essentially asking how God and humanity are connected through spiritual presence. The author looks at tough concepts like how people need to really try to understand divine truths instead of just blindly accepting beliefs. Roberts kicks things off by saying goodbye to a special theology program and getting ready to talk about divine immanence. He pushes the idea that understanding God means working hard both with your mind and your spirit, and not just being lazy with your faith. Roberts emphasizes the clash between faith and smarts when talking about God, and he makes a case for really thinking about and understanding spirituality. He especially wants to focus on the idea that God is present and active everywhere instead of far away.
