Excerpt from The Works Joseph Butler, LL. D., Late Lord Bishop of Durham, Vol. 1 of 2: Containing, the Analogy of Religion, Natural and Revealed, to the Constitution and Course of Nature, and Two Dissertations on Personal Identity And the mind may concur in rendering our religious ser vices acceptable to God, and at the some time useful to ourselves. And what way can-this be, but precisely that which is recommended in the Charge; such a cultivation of outward as well as inward religion, that from both may result, what is the point chiefly to he laboured, and at all events to be secured, a correspondent temper and behaviour; or, in other words, such on application of the forms of godliness, as may be subservient in promoting the power and spirit of it? No man, who believes the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament, and under stands what he believes, but must know, that external religion is as much enjoined, and constitutes as real it part of revelation, as that which is internal. The many ceremonies in use among the. Jews, in consequence of a divine commend; the baptism of water, as an emblem of moral purity; the. Eating and drinking of bread and wine, as symbols and representations of the body and bloodof Christ, required of Christians, are proofs of this. On comparing these two parts of religion together, one, it is immediately seen, is of much greater importance than the other; and, whenever they happen to interfere, is always to be preferred: But does it follow from hence, that therefore that other is of little or no importance, and, ia' cases where there is no competition, may entirely be neglected? Or rather, is not the legitimate conclusion directly the reverse, that nothing is to be looked upon as of little importance, which is of any use at all in preserv ing upon our minds a sense of the Divine authority, which recalls to our remembrance the obligations we are under, and helps to keep us, as the Scripture expresses it, in the fear of the Lord all the day long {t} to adopt the instance mentioned in the Charge, the. Sight of a church should remind a man of some sentiment ofo. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Joseph Butler's The Analogy of Religion (1736) is an important work in terms of its historical influence and its contemporary relevance. In it, Butler defends Christian belief against many well-known objections: for instance, that the evidence for Christianity is weak; that it is impossible to believe in miracles; that if God existed he would have revealed himself clearly to everyone. The problems Butler discusses are current in contemporary philosophy of religion, but his answers are often ignored, or given short shrift. Butler argues that by examining this world we have reason to believe its Creator is both benevolent and just; that virtue will be rewarded and vice punished. Even if we have doubts, we would be well advised to take Christianity seriously, given what is at stake. The work includes seminal discussions of life after death, personal identity, and the structure of our ethical thought. In addition to extensive notes, David McNaughton's edition includes a detailed synopsis, a selection from the correspondence between Butler and Samuel Clarke, and an oveview of philosophical influences on Butler's thought.
