In his seminal work, Analogy, published in 1736, Joseph Butler addresses a remarkable period in religious history marked by widespread debauchery and infidelity across all social classes. England was experiencing a pinnacle of irreligion, and the re-establishment of Episcopacy had yet to improve the nation’s moral fabric. Piety was scorned as a sign of ignorance, and many who professed their faith faced persecution, sometimes leading to dungeons and death. Within the cultured circles of the time, it was widely believed that Christianity had been exposed as a falsehood. The clergy, rather than alleviating this moral despair, often contributed to it through their own scandalous behavior. As Bishop Warburton lamented, “Religion had lost its hold on the minds of the people.” Despite its profound influence and widespread readership, Butlers Analogy has faced no serious challenge to its arguments. Crafted for a specific moment yet timeless in its depth, this work is hailed as “the most original and profound book on the philosophy of religion” and stands as “the most compelling defense of Christianity ever presented.” - Summary by PrefaceCopyright Politics, Philosophy, Religion キリスト教 スピリチュアリティ 哲学 社会科学 聖職・福音主義
