Publisher's Synopsis
Lectures on Natural Theology is a book written by P. A. Chadbourne, which explores the concept of natural theology. Natural theology is the study of the existence and attributes of God based on reason and experience, rather than divine revelation. In this book, Chadbourne presents a series of lectures that delve into various aspects of natural theology, including the nature of God, the problem of evil, and the relationship between faith and reason. He draws on a range of philosophical and theological perspectives to explore these topics, and provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the field of natural theology. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it an ideal resource for students and scholars of philosophy and theology, as well as anyone interested in exploring the relationship between religion and reason.1867.
