The Religious Philosopher : Or, The Right Use of Contemplating the Works of the Creator

Omtale

Originally published in Dutch in 1715, and reissued here in its 1724 English translation, this two-volume work by the philosopher and theologian Bernard Nieuwentyt (1654–1718) argues that the scientific examination of the natural world is compatible with religious belief. The book notably influenced the natural theology of William Paley.
