Excerpt from Christian Theism
The following are some reflections on the direction which the religious sentiments of men may be expected to take after the relinquishment of their belief in miraculous revelations.
On some occasions old truths have an interest and fitness of application which give them a freshness equal to that of novelty. This must be the excuse for repeating here some things which may have often been said before. To those who have felt compelled to acquiesce in the conclusion referred to with respect to the Christian religion, the truths which can be gathered from Nature come to have a force and a reality which were never before perceived. When we are called upon to decide between Nature"s religion and none, it seems to us as if we had not yet sufficiently weighed the import of the lessons conveyed in Creation, and we find in them the interest and value belonging to new discoveries.
These pages may, perhaps, express some of the thoughts to which such a position gives rise; and also tend to shew in what sense Theism and Christianity may unite in name as well as in sympathies.
