Publisher's Synopsis
A Course of Lectures on the Principle Subjects in Pneumatology, Ethics, and Divinity is a book written by Philip Doddridge in 1776. The book is a collection of lectures that Doddridge delivered on the topics of pneumatology (the study of the human soul or spirit), ethics (the study of moral principles), and divinity (the study of God and religious beliefs).The lectures are organized into three parts, each corresponding to one of the three subject areas. In the section on pneumatology, Doddridge discusses the nature of the human soul and its relationship to the body, as well as the immortality of the soul and the concept of free will.The section on ethics covers a range of topics, including the nature of virtue and vice, the role of reason in moral decision-making, and the importance of cultivating good habits and character traits. Doddridge also explores the relationship between ethics and religion, arguing that a virtuous life is essential for true religious devotion.In the final section on divinity, Doddridge discusses various theological topics, including the nature of God, the role of Christ in salvation, and the importance of faith and repentance. He also addresses issues related to religious practice, such as prayer and worship.Throughout the book, Doddridge draws on a range of philosophical and theological sources, including ancient Greek and Roman philosophy, Christian scripture, and the writings of contemporary thinkers. The lectures are written in a clear and accessible style, making them suitable for a wide range of readers interested in philosophy, ethics, and theology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
