Publisher's Synopsis
Physico-Theology, also known as A Demonstration of the Being and Attributes of God from His Works of Creation, is a philosophical and theological treatise written by William Derham in 1713. The book aims to prove the existence of God and His attributes through observations of the natural world. Derham, a prominent English clergyman and natural philosopher, draws on the discoveries of scientists such as Isaac Newton and Robert Boyle to argue that the complexity and order of the universe can only be explained by the existence of a divine creator. He examines various aspects of the natural world, including the stars, planets, and animals, and shows how they reveal the wisdom and power of God. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it popular among both scholars and the general public. Despite its age, Physico-Theology remains a significant work in the history of natural theology and continues to be studied by theologians, philosophers, and scientists today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
