An Analysis of BP. [J.] Butler's Analogy of Religion

By John Posthumus Parkinson

Book Overview

An Analysis of Bp. J.] Butler's Analogy of Religion offers a detailed examination of Bishop Joseph Butler's seminal work, "The Analogy of Religion, Natural and Revealed, to the Constitution and Course of Nature." This analysis, likely undertaken by John Posthumus Parkinson, delves into Butler's arguments for the reasonableness of Christianity by drawing parallels between the natural world and revealed religion.

Butler's "Analogy" is a cornerstone of 18th-century apologetics, addressing common objections to religious belief through careful reasoning and observation. This analysis provides readers with a structured understanding of Butler's key concepts and arguments, making it an invaluable resource for students of theology, philosophy, and religious history. It remains a relevant contribution to discussions about faith, reason, and the relationship between science and religion.
