Synopsis

A plain-spoken portrait of Butler’s measured faith and everyday duty, shown through a thoughtful biographer’s eye. The book portrays a man who seeks practical guidance for living rightly, with light for the next step rather than grand revelations.

It frames Butler within the Anglican tradition and explains how his Christian agnosticism shaped his approach to reason, conscience, and the limits of human knowledge. The narrative emphasizes his commitment to truth, restraint, and the belief that religion should fit life as it is lived on earth.

• How Butler grounds religion in everyday duties and moral choices.


• How the Analogy of Nature underpins his approach to faith and reason.


• Threefold look at Christianity’s evidence: miracles, prophecy, and collateral testimony.


• Context about Anglican thought and the place of conscience in religious life.

Ideal for readers of Anglican history, religious philosophy, and biographical studies of prominent English thinkers.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
