THE ONTOLOGICAL ARGUMENT (2 of 8 notes)

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

The first three arguments are by far the most easily understood and the most generally accepted. The Ontological is difficult to grasp and its validity has been denied by many theologians and meta- physicians. Chafer remarks that Shedd, in his treatment of this one argument, used two-thirds of the whole space given to theistic proofs, while Bishop R. S. Foster declares that he had never caught the meaning or the force of the argument. Anselm (11th century) was supposedly the first to enunciate this argument. It has been a favorite with many metaphysicians, including Descartes and Spinoza.
