About this book
God the Known and God the Unknown is by Samuel Butler. The contents list chapters titled, among others, Orthodox Theism, The Tree of Life and The Likeness of God. The prefatory note says the work first appeared in the form of a series of articles published in The Examiner in May, June, and July, 1879. The prefatory note says Samuel Butler subsequently revised the text of his work, presumably with the intention of republishing it, though he never carried the intention into effect.
The text says almost any settlement is felt to be better than none, and that the more nearly a matter comes home to everyone, the more important is it that it should be treated as a sleeping dog, and be let to lie. The text says we must not be surprised that when an idea is still inchoate its expression should be inconsistent and imperfect.
