On the Power, Wisdom and Goodness of God as Manifested in the Adaptation of External Nature to the Moral and Intellectual Constitution of Man

""On the Power, Wisdom and Goodness of God as Manifested in the Adaptation of External Nature to the Moral and Intellectual Constitution of Man"" is a book written by Reverend Thomas Chalmers. The book explores the relationship between God's power, wisdom, and goodness as they are reflected in the natural world and its adaptation to the moral and intellectual nature of humanity. Chalmers argues that the natural world is a manifestation of God's divine plan and that it is perfectly adapted to meet the needs of humanity. He also explores the relationship between the physical and spiritual worlds, arguing that they are intimately connected and that the natural world is a reflection of the spiritual world. The book is a philosophical and theological exploration of the relationship between God and the natural world, and it is an important contribution to the field of Christian theology.1833. Two Volumes in One. William Paley's Natural Theology was the inspiration for a series of remarkable works whose thesis was that all of nature shows design and that the argument is cumulative, case by case. The Earl of Bridgewater left ����8,000 for the undertaking. The intentions of the will were carried out by the President of the Royal Society, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Bishop of London, who, in turn, chose the Reverend Thomas Chalmers, Professor of Divinity in the University of Edinburgh, to write the first of the eight works, entitled On the Power, Wisdom and Goodness of God as Manifested in the Adaptation of External Nature to the Moral and Intellectual Constitution of Man. The object was to illustrate such work by all reasonable arguments, as for instance, the variety and formation of God's creatures in the animal, vegetable, and mineral kingdoms; the effect of digestion, and thereby of conversion; the construction of the hand of man, and an infinite variety of other arguments; as also by discoveries ancient and modern, in arts, sciences, and the whole extent of literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
