Natural Theology and Modern Thought (1891)

Natural Theology and Modern Thought is a book written by James Houghton Kennedy, first published in 1891. The book explores the relationship between natural theology and modern thought, and argues that natural theology is still relevant in the modern world. Kennedy begins by defining natural theology as the study of the nature of God and his relationship to the world, using reason and observation rather than revelation or scripture. He then discusses the history of natural theology, from the ancient Greeks to the Enlightenment, and examines the arguments for and against its validity.Kennedy then turns to the modern world, and argues that natural theology is still relevant in the face of modern scientific discoveries and philosophical developments. He examines the relationship between science and religion, and argues that they are not necessarily in conflict. He also discusses the role of reason and faith in natural theology, and how they can work together to deepen our understanding of God and the world.Overall, Natural Theology and Modern Thought is a thoughtful and nuanced exploration of the relationship between natural theology and modern thought. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of religion, philosophy, and science.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
