Synopsis
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.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: 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.
