Science Of Natural Theology - Asa Mahan - Bog

The Science of Natural Theology, written by Asa Mahan in 1867, is a philosophical and theological exploration of the concept of God as revealed through the natural world. Mahan argues that the existence of a divine being can be deduced through rational analysis of the natural world, and that this understanding of God can be further refined through the study of scripture and other religious texts.Mahan begins by examining the concept of causation and posits that God must be the unconditioned cause of all things. He then explores the attributes of God as they are revealed through creation, including God's infinite wisdom, power, and goodness. Mahan argues that the natural world is evidence of God's benevolent design, and that the intricacies of the universe point to a divine intelligence.Throughout the book, Mahan draws on a variety of sources, including classical philosophy, the Bible, and contemporary scientific discoveries, to support his arguments. He also engages with the work of other theologians and philosophers, including Thomas Aquinas and Immanuel Kant.Overall, The Science of Natural Theology is a thoughtful and comprehensive exploration of the relationship between God and the natural world, and an attempt to reconcile scientific inquiry with religious faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
