Riassunto:

Spiritual Optics is a Christian book authored by Nathanael Culverwell. The book is a philosophical and theological treatise on the nature of human knowledge and understanding of God. The author explores the limitations of human knowledge and the imperfection of our understanding of God in this life. Through the use of metaphors and analogies, Culverwell argues that our understanding of God is like looking through a glass, which is distorted and imperfect. He emphasizes the importance of humility and self-awareness in recognizing the limitations of our knowledge and the need for divine revelation to truly know God. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a specific aspect of human knowledge and understanding of God. Culverwell draws on the works of other theologians and philosophers to support his arguments and provides a comprehensive analysis of the subject matter. Overall, Spiritual Optics is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges readers to examine their own understanding of God and the limitations of human knowledge. It is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Christian theology and philosophy.1651. To the reader Mr. Culverwell presents thee with a little mirror, wherein you may easily discern your own imperfections, unless they stand in your light; and if you will but use to reflect upon yourself and dwell at home, you may easily find that you have little reason either to admire yourself or condemn others.
