The Deity (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from The Deity

Though the superficial and the profane may dismiss the importunities of Reason with a light and scofing air, the sober-minded and the solid thinker cannot do so. The sincere inquirer loves truth wherever he may find it, and will not, either timidly or negligently, avert his 'eye from its light. While he deems the phenomena and the laws of Nature worthy of his diligent study, he will feel that the existence and perfections of the great Author of Nature, and the moral relations and destinies of humanity involved therein, require from him a calm, impartial, and patient investigation, so that his mind may enjoy the repose of enlightened convio tion and conscious integrity. Our humble ofice is to aid his inquiries.

Excerpt from The Deity

Two large editions of this work having been sold, and the demand for a third having become urgent, the author has revised the work throughout, and brought it abreast with the most recent discoveries of science. The revival of the ancient error of evolutionism has also received more special and extended notice.

The Author's aim in the First and Second Books of this volume, is to adduce evidence from Nature on the existence and perfections of God, and to show its harmony with the more luminous teachings of Revelation. If there be a God, the universe is his work; and if his work, it will both attest his being, and unfold some of his attributes. If the Bible be Divinely inspired, its declarations and revelations respecting God will harmonize with his works; and, therefore, both should be consulted by those who are anxious to know the truth.
