A Theological Survey Of The Human Understanding: Intended As An Antidote Against Modern Deism (1776) - Paperback

by Robert Applegarth (Author)

""A Theological Survey of the Human Understanding"" is a book written by Robert Applegarth in 1776. The book is intended to serve as an antidote against modern deism, which was a philosophical movement that rejected traditional religious beliefs in favor of a more rational and scientific approach to understanding the world. In the book, Applegarth presents a theological survey of the human understanding, exploring the nature of God, the role of religion in society, and the relationship between faith and reason. He argues that a proper understanding of theology requires a balance between reason and faith, and that modern deism fails to appreciate the role that faith plays in human understanding.Throughout the book, Applegarth provides a detailed analysis of the major theological issues of his time, including the nature of God, the problem of evil, and the relationship between God and humanity. He also critiques the arguments of prominent deists, such as David Hume and Voltaire, and provides a defense of traditional Christian beliefs.Overall, ""A Theological Survey of the Human Understanding"" is a thoughtful and well-reasoned critique of modern deism, and a defense of traditional Christian beliefs. It is an important work for anyone interested in the history of theology and religious thought in the 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
