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.

About the Author: Alexander Whyte was a Scots Theologian, Free Church Minister and Principal of New College, Edinburgh.
