Westminster Sermons

Westminster Sermons - with a Preface

I venture to preface these Sermonswhich were preached either at Westminster Abbey, or at one of the Chapels Royalby a Paper read at Sion College, in 1871; and for this reason. Even when they deal with what is usually, and rightly, called vital and experimental religion, they are comments on, and developments of, the idea which pervades that paper; namelyThat facts, whether of physical nature, or of the human heart and reason, do not contradict, but coincide with, the doctrines and formulas of the Church of England, as by law established. * * * * * Natural Theology, I said, is a subject which seems to me more and more important; and one which is just now somewhat forgotten. I therefore desire to say a few words on it. I do not pretend to teach: but only to suggest; to point out certain problems of natural Theology, the further solution of which ought, I think, to be soon attempted. I wish to speak, be it remembered, not on natural religion, but on natural Theology. By the first, I understand what can be learned from the physical universe of mans duty to God and to his neighbour; by the p. vilatter, I understand what can be learned concerning God Himself. Of natural religion I shall say nothing. I do not even affirm that a natural religion is possible: but I do very earnestly believe that a natural Theology is possible; and I earnestly believe also that it is most important that natural Theology should, in every age, keep pace with doctrinal or ecclesiastical Theology. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
