Rational Religion, and the Rationalistic Objections of the Bampton Lectures for 1858 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
Rational Religion under fire: a clear, controversial exchange about faith, reason, and the self‑understanding of religion.
In this critical examination, Goldwin Smith surveys the Bampton Lectures on rational religion, unpacking how some philosophers link science and theology. He argues that, despite sharp disagreements, the defense of religious faith remains closely tied to both moral life and the idea of a Creator who works through the world. The work scrutinizes arguments about immortality, the nature of God, and the role of revelation in a modern age.
- A detailed look at how philosophy and theology intersect in 19th‑century debates
- Clear arguments about the immortality of the soul and the limits of empirical thinking
- References to contemporary thinkers and classic proofs for natural theology and revelation
- A sustained verdict on whether reason can dethrone religion or rather illuminate it
Ideal for readers of religious philosophy, Victorian intellectual history, and debates about faith and reason.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves deep into the compatibility of rational religion and historical knowledge, particularly scrutinizing the implications of the author's proposed doctrine that human and divine morality are identical. The author argues that if human morality is not identical to the morality of God, as proposed in the Bampton Lectures, then our understanding of God's morality becomes meaningless or even suggestive of immorality. The book presents a comprehensive analysis of the philosophical underpinnings of religion and the nature of belief, challenging conventional notions and offering fresh insights into the relationship between reason and faith. By examining the consequences of denying the identity of human and divine morality, the author prompts readers to grapple with profound questions about the nature of morality, the limits of human understanding, and the possibility of knowing God. The book's exploration of these themes is both intellectually stimulating and profoundly impactful, inviting readers to engage in a rigorous and nuanced examination of the foundations of religion and the nature of human existence.
