Sinopsis
Excerpt from A Body of Divinity, Vol. 1 of 4: Wherein the Doctrines of the Christian Religion Are Explained and Defended, Being the Substance of Several Lectures on the Assembly's Larger Catechism
Whether my method of explaining these doctrines be reckon ed just, or no, I cannot but persuade myself, that if what I have said, concerning the subordination of these divine persons, be considered in any other view, than as an explication of the Son ship of Christ, and the procession of thel Holy Ghost, it will not be reckoned a deviating from the common faith of those who have defended the doctrine of the ever-blessed Trinity; and, if it be an error to maintain that these divine persons, as well as the Father, are independent, as to their personality, as well as their essence, or to assert that the manner of their hav ing the divine essence, as some express it, is independent, as well as the essence itself, then what I have delivered, on that subject, is to no purpose, which, when I am convinced of, I shall readily acknowledge my mistake, and count it an happi~ ness to be undeceived.

Excerpt from A Body of Divinity, Vol. 1 of 4: Wherein the Doctrines of the Christian Religion Are Explained and Defended, Being the Substance of Several Lectures on the Assembly's Larger Catechism
The influence which the different sentiments of men, in matters of religion, have, for the most part, on their temper and behaviour towards one another, affords very little ground to expect that any attempt to explain or defend the most important doctrines of Christianity, should not be treated with dislike and opposition by some, how much soever it may afford matter of conviction to others. This consideration would have put a stop to my pen, and thereby saved me a great deal of fatigue, in preparing and publishing the following sheets, had it not been over-balanced by what I cannot, at present, think any other than a sense of duty, in compliance with the call of providence. I heartily wish there were no occasion to vindicate some of the great doctrines of the gospel, which were more generally received in the last age, than at present, from misrepresentation, as though the method in which they had been explained led to licentiousness, and the doctrines themselves, especially those of election, particular redemption, efficacious grace, and some others, that depend upon them, were inconsistent with the moral perfections of the divine nature: these are now traduced by many, as though they were new and strange doctrines, not founded on scripture, nor to be maintained by any just methods of reasoning deduced from it, or as if the duties of practical religion could not be inculcated consistently therewith. If this insinuation were true, our preaching would be vain, our hope also vain, and we should be found false witnesses for God, and have no solid ground whereon to set our feet, which would be a most tremendous thought. And, if this be not sufficient to justify my present undertaking, I have nothing to allege of equal weight.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a theological treatise that presents arguments supporting the existence of God using methods of natural theology. It first posits that the light of nature in man can lead to the understanding that there is a God, and that the works of God alone are insufficient to reveal him to men in a manner that is effectual to their salvation. Only the word and the spirit of God can achieve this. The author argues that the existence of God can be proven using demonstrations from the inherent nature of mankind, as well as the cosmos, its order, harmony, and design. Objections to these proofs are addressed, and the relationship between God, his creation, and its purpose are analyzed. The author further posits that believing in the existence of God does not require adherence to religious tradition and that the belief itself is not a result of indoctrination, but of a personal examination of evidence. This book is valuable to scholars of theology, natural theology, and religious philosophy, as it provides a deep and historically informed perspective on the proofs for the existence of God. It remains one of the most important works on the subject of theism. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
