Origines Sacrae: Or A Rational Account Of The Grounds Of Natural And Revealed Religion. Together With A Letter To A Deist by Edward Stillingfleet presents a rigorous early modern apologetic that fuses theology and philosophy. The work defends creation by God as the foundational truth of religion and uses Moses as the standard against which alternative origins theories are judged. It surveys four competing origins positions—the eternity of the world and matter, the world formed with eternal matter, the fortuitous confluence of atoms, and purely mechanical explanations—critiquing each for its insufficiency and arguing that creation ex nihilo remains coherent, rational, and scripturally grounded. The analysis extends to the origin of evil and Providence, defending human free will and divine governance. The volume engages a wide array of authorities, from Moses to ancient philosophers and patristic voices, and it situates Cartesian mechanistic physics within a broader apologetic program that vindicates Scripture, miracles, and providence as intelligible and necessary."
