In his youth, Thomas Chalmers encountered several skeptical writings that initially led him to dismiss religion as mere superstition. His mind was clouded by these infidel productions, and despite his background in the precise reasoning of mathematics, he struggled to find similar proofs for Christianity. However, the influence of friends encouraged him to delve into Butler’s Analogy. This pivotal work shifted his perspective, allowing him to view Christianity as worthy of careful examination rather than a mere improbability. With an open mind, he approached the evidence as he would for any assertion, ready to consider even the slightest proof. Free from prejudice, he soon recognized the folly of deism and ultimately accepted the word of God, even if he did not immediately experience its transformative power. Reflecting on the impact of Butler’s arguments, he later said, “Butler made me a Christian.” His deep appreciation for Butlers insights sustained him throughout his journey, as he noted in the preface of his Bridgewater Treatise, “I have derived greater aid from the views and reasonings of Butler than I have been able to find, besides, in the whole range of our extant authorship.” (Summary by Howard Malcom)Copyright Religious Texts and Commentary 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
