Opis

Excerpt from Geology and Mineralogy, Vol. 2: Considered With Reference to Natural Theology It has been the object of the author to present a compendious manual of the principal elements of Theological Study, originally addressed to a class of adult youth, completing the higher branches of education. It has been attempted to adopt that tone and spirit throughout the course, which, it was hoped, might prove most useful and impressive to minds so situated; and, therefore, the various scientific, literary, and critical disquisitions bearing upon the subject, have been entered into somewhat more fully than might otherwise have been expected in a work so merely elementary. In the Introduction, the general application of classical and scientific education to Theology is discussed, illustrated in the former instance by pointing out the anxious inquiries of Natural Reason on these subjects, in the ancient philosophical schools, and the confessed weakness of that reason to obtain a satisfactory solution, unless assisted by Revelation. The evidences of Natural Theology are compendiously summed up under the various branches of physical science to which they relate; thus showing the application of scientific education to theological objects; the argument will here be found to run parallel with that of the several Bridgewater Treatises, which have appeared since the publication of the first edition of these Lectures; references are accordingly given in the notes of the present edition, to the portions of those Treatises where the topics more generally indicated in this manual will be found developed in fuller detail. A connecting survey of Butler's argument, from the analogy between the truths disclosed by natural and revealed religion, is then made to usher in a recapitulation of the great evidences of Christianity, on the basis of the works of Lardner and Paley.
