Synopsis

Deism Not Consistent With The Religion Of Reason And Nature: Wherein Are Obviated The Most Popular Objections Brought Against Christianity, Those Especially Which Are Urged By A Moral Philosopher, In A Late Extraordinary Pamphlet, Stiled, Deism Fairly Stated, And Fully Vindicated. In A Letter To Capel Berrow. This work is a polemical defense of Christian revelation and a critique of deist arguments. Berrow surveys the arguments of Deism Fairly Stated, arguing that the religion of reason and nature cannot fully supplant revealed religion. He contends that moral duties, salvation, and the authority of Scripture require divine revelation, and that miracles and prophetic claims, far from undermining faith, provide rational grounds for belief. He discusses the roles of natural religion, revelation, and ecclesiastical authority, engages with the works of theologians such as Waterland, Sherlock, Chandler, and Pemble, and defends the authenticity and sufficiency of the Bible as the divine Word. The treatise ultimately argues that belief in Christ’s gospel is reasonable and necessary for a virtuous life and future felicity.
