Book Overview

The Folly and Unreasonableness of Atheism: Demonstrated from the Advantage and Pleasure of a Religious Life is a book written by Richard Bentley and published in 1699. The book is a critique of atheism and argues that leading a religious life is more advantageous and pleasurable than living without faith. Bentley, a prominent theologian and scholar, draws on a wide range of sources including philosophy, history, and scripture to make his case. He argues that atheism is a foolish and irrational position to hold, and that it leads to a lack of purpose and meaning in life. In contrast, he contends that a religious life provides a sense of direction, moral guidance, and a connection to a higher power. The book is written in a clear and persuasive style and remains an important work in the history of religious thought.The Faculties Of Humane Souls, The Structure Of Animate Bodies, And The Origin And Frame Of The World, In Eight Sermons.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
