Synopsis

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.
