Excerpt from A Course of Physico-Theological Lectures: Upon the State of the World, From the Creation to the Deluge
Convinced that reason and revelation mutually support each other, and that true philosophy is the best defence against scepticism and infidelity, I have ventured, on these principles, to contribute my mite to the support of sacred history. And whether I have thrown any new light on that part of it, which falls under my review, must be left to the judgment of the impartial reader; but I flatter myself, I have freed it from some visionary comments, which can neither be reconciled to the rectitude of the divine nature, nor to that uniformity of government, which is exercised over the natural and moral world.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the Book of Genesis by positing that it was written by Moses during his exile as a means of consoling and educating his fellow countrymen. The author contends that the book is a reliable source of information about the creation, the fall of humanity, and the antediluvian world. They argue that it was written with the assistance of divine inspiration and was later preserved by the Israelites thanks to its profound insights and importance to their spiritual tradition. The book delves into themes such as the power and wisdom of God, the dangers of disobedience, and the consequences of obeying divine authority. By analyzing the text and its historical context, the author sheds light on the nature of humanity's relationship with the divine and the significance of following a righteous path.
