The Resurrection of Theism is, to use the words of President Vernon Grounds in the Preface, an "Extraordinary attempt to rehabilitate the great tradition in theistic argument." It is, in fact, the basic outline of a whole system of philosophy, theology, and apologetics which may be described as both old and new: old, because it lays hold upon the great historical contributions in these fields; new, because it attempts, with a thorough-going rationalism, to merge these contributions together with the distinctive insights of the author into a systematic argument by means of which modern man may be confronted with the reality of God in the context of his own reason and experience.
While the primary thrust of the book is thus an evangel and summons to theistic philosopy as the only adequate understanding of the whole complex of reality, the work should lend itself as well to use as a textbook in various fields: in philosophy, it may serve as an introduction and guide, since within its pages most of the major philosophical questions and positions come up for detailed analysis and criticism; in theology, it will serve as a thorough-going exposition of the epistemological and metaphysical basis of theism in the context of a reconstructed natural theology; in apologetics, it stands as the basis of a total apologetic system, both in the presentation of a positive point of view that is virtually unique in the history of Christian thought, and in the critical evaluation of major alternative system of apologetic approach. It can therefore only be hoped that such a work will find a significant and ever-increasing ministry in this twentieth century of the Christian era.

""It is probably impossible to imagine the amount of intellectual energy that has been diverted from normal process of arriving at intellectual conclusions because it has gone into rationalization of the doctrines entertained by historic religions." (quoting John Dewey)"
