Excerpt from Analogies in the Progress of Nature and Grace: Four Sermons Preached Before the University of Cambridge, (Being the Hulsean Lectures for 1867); To Which Are Added Two Sermons Preached Before the British Association in 1866 and 1867
Of a being endued with an acute apprehension of the glory and the beauty of colour and of form. Moreover, the relations of all nature, animated and inorganic, and the observable yet complicated mo tions Of the heavenly bodies, are all correlated to the marvellous intellectual faculties of Man, who is placed in their midst, and is to render them subservient to his necessities, his convenience, or his enjoyment. I have pointed out how the very existence of such faculties is a prophecy Of their immortality.

Excerpt from Analogies in the Progress of Nature and Grace: Four Sermons Preached Before the University of Cambridge, (Being the Hulsean Lectures for 1867); To Which Are Added Two Sermons Preached Before the British Association in 1866 and 1867
The Hulsean Lectures contained in the present Volume were not written so much with the view of defending Revealed Religion from objections said to be drawn from modern Science, as to shew that Revealed Religion and the Scheme of Nature, physical and social, are in correlation the one to the other, and form the continuity of one Divine plan. After reviewing the vast and unexpected results of modern investigations, they seem to me to be just so many contributions to the indirect evidences of the Christian Faith; the lines of discovery all converging to one point, and indicating that the God of Nature and He Who is revealed as God in the Old and the New Testament, are one and the same.
For instance, the deposition of the Coal fields in ages past, practically formed one long continuous prophecy of the advent of an intelligent being who, in the fullness of time, was to receive the command, 'Subdue the Earth.'

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an analysis of the continuity between the divine plans for the natural world and for revealed religion, underpinned by the consistent principle of slow development. The author argues that just as scientific knowledge has expanded slowly throughout history, so too has the development of intellectual and moral capacities in humans and the acceptance of Christianity. The resulting analogy between the physical, psychological, and spiritual realms demonstrates a divine law of deliberate progress. The book also explores the beauty and joy inherent in this gradual creation and the significance of this principle for understanding divine revelation, offering insights that may alleviate anxieties about the perceived tension between scientific and religious truths.
