THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL ARGUMENT (1 of 6 notes)

Part Three
Theology Proper: 16 PHILOSOPHICAL ARGUMENTS FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker

The Cosmological argument has shown the necessity for postulating a sufficient Cause for the universe; the Teleological has indicated that that Cause must be intelligent and therefore personal. The Anthropological is based upon both of these arguments, but goes one step further in arguing from the mental and moral constitution of man to an intelligent and moral Author of these human attributes. It is sometimes called the Moral argument, although Strong thinks this is too narrow a designation, as it takes into account only the conscience of man, whereas the argument proceeds from the intellectual and emotional aspects of man’s nature as well.
