The Secret of the Creation
by Howard D. Pollyen
About the author
Very little biographical information about Howard D. Pollyen could be confirmed from reliable online sources during this search. He is chiefly known as the author of The Secret of the Creation, a theological and philosophical work that was later preserved and made widely available through Project Gutenberg.
The book presents a meditation on creation, redemption, and humanity's relationship with the divine, mixing religious argument with a lofty, highly personal style. Contemporary catalog and bookseller records found in this search point mainly to that title, suggesting that his surviving public reputation rests almost entirely on this one work.
Because dependable author records appear to be scarce, many details of his life remain unclear. Even so, The Secret of the Creation offers a glimpse of a writer drawn to sweeping spiritual questions and to expressing them with unusual confidence and dramatic flair.
