Two paths to belief examined with clear, methodical thinking
This clear, scholarly work lays out two disciplined methods of natural theology and shows how they address modern objections to Christianity.
In a long-running lecture series, the author explains how objective and subjective approaches can be pursued with scientific discipline, and how each method supports belief in God and Christian truth. The text also situates these methods in the debates of evolution, causation, and human knowledge, offering a framework for evaluating common objections without sacrificing clarity or rigor.
Readers will encounter discussions of historical arguments, the influence of philosophy on theology, and the practical question of how natural theology relates to revelation. The work foregrounds the idea that reason and faith can be harmonized in the search for divine knowledge.
Ideal for readers of religious philosophy, theology, and history who want a thoughtful, accessible overview of natural theology in the modern age.

Excerpt from The Foundations of Religious Belief: The Methods of Natural Theology Vindicated Against Modern Objections
In the pursuit of my subject it has been my good fortune to find no occasion to controvert with any one of the authors from whose general views I dis sent, any fact that either he or I can regard as of fundamental or controlling importance, or to assert any conclusion, as derived from these facts, which I have not been able to express in words selected from their own writings.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a philosophical argument for the existence of a divine being. The author examines two prominent methods in natural theology: the objective and subjective methods. The objective method infers the existence of a supreme being from the material world, while the subjective method infers it from the nature of human consciousness. The author argues that both methods lead to the conclusion that there must be an intelligent, personal agent who created the universe. The author delves into complex metaphysical concepts such as causation and the nature of knowledge, engaging with prominent philosophers like Plato, Kant, and Spencer. Through these discussions, the book challenges objections to the existence of God based on scientific theories of evolution and causation. Ultimately, the author concludes that the arguments presented in natural theology provide a sound basis for belief in the existence of a divine being.
