God Is Spirit, God Is Love: A Treatise On Spiritual Unitarianism is a book written by George Elliot and published in 1895. The book explores the concept of spiritual unitarianism, which is the belief that God is one and indivisible, and that the material world is an illusion. Elliot argues that God is not a physical entity, but rather a spiritual force that permeates all of creation. He suggests that the true nature of God can only be understood through spiritual experience and that the material world is a distraction that prevents us from realizing our true potential. Throughout the book, Elliot provides examples from various religious traditions to support his arguments, including Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism. He also examines the role of love in spiritual unitarianism, arguing that love is the highest expression of the divine and that it is through love that we can connect with God. Overall, God Is Spirit, God Is Love is a thought-provoking exploration of spiritual unitarianism and the nature of God. It offers insights into the spiritual traditions of various cultures and provides a compelling argument for the importance of love in our spiritual lives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autorenporträt
About the BookAdam Bede, the first novel written by George Eliot (the pen name of Mary Ann Evans), was published in 1859. It was published pseudonymously, even though Evans was a well-published and highly respected scholar of her time. The novel has remained in print ever since and is used in university studies of 19th-century English literature. Carpenter Adam Bede is in love with the beautiful Hetty Sorrel, but unknown to him, he has a rival, in the local squire's son Arthur Donnithorne. Hetty is soon attracted by Arthur's seductive charm and they begin to meet in secret. The relationship is to have tragic consequences that reach far beyond the couple themselves, touching not just Adam Bede, but many others, not least, pious Methodist Preacher Dinah Morris. A tale of seduction, betrayal, love and deception, the plot of Adam Bede has the quality of an English folk song. Within the setting of Hayslope, a small, rural community, Eliot brilliantly creates a sense of earthy reality, making the landscape itself as vital a presence in the novel as that of her characters themselves.About the AuthorMary Ann (Marian) Evans was born in 1819 in Warwickshire. Under the name of George Eliot, she wrote Scenes of Clerical Life, Adam Bede, The Mill on the Floss, Silas Marner, Romola, Felix Holt, Middlemarch and Daniel Deronda, as well as numerous essays, articles and reviews. She died in 1880, only a few months after marrying J. W. Cross, an old friend and admirer, who became her first biographer. Margaret Reynolds works on literature from the C18th to the present day, especially poetry, and especially in the Victorian period. Her The Sappho History (2003) traced the transmission of the works and images of the ancient Greek poet as they appear in the works of Mary Robinson, S.T. Coleridge, Alfred Tennyson, Baudelaire, Swinburne, H.D. and Virginia Woolf. Margaret Reynolds is the presenter of BBC Radio 4's 'Adventures in Poetry', now in its 11th series. She has a weekly column on classic books in the Saturday Times.Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission.
