Chapter 2: "The Three-Personal God"
Lewis' example of begetting and making.
| Begets | Makes | |
|---|---|---|
| God | Word/Logos/Son/Jesus | Man, creatures, world |
| Man | Son/children | Statue, table, shoe |
| in general | 'Like'/same substance | unlike/different stuff |
Personality and God: New Age, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. (hereafter shown as "NA/H/B"), believe "in a god that is beyond personal." Christians agree, but in a starkly contrasting way to those religions. The others believe in something impersonal... something that has "transcended" the personal. Christians (and only Christians) believe in something that is super-personal... the source that person/personal/personality flows (down) from.
