Natural Religion The Remains Of Primitive Revelation (1839)

By Tayler Lewis

Book Overview

Natural Religion: The Remains of Primitive Revelation is a book written by Tayler Lewis and published in 1839. The book is an exploration of the concept of natural religion, which is the idea that religious beliefs and practices are innate to human beings and are not dependent on revealed texts or doctrines. Lewis argues that natural religion is a remnant of a primitive revelation that was given to humanity in the distant past. The book is divided into two parts. The first part explores the nature of natural religion and its relationship to revealed religion. Lewis argues that natural religion is not in conflict with revealed religion, but rather complements it. He also discusses the various forms that natural religion has taken throughout history, from the animism of primitive societies to the philosophical systems of ancient Greece and Rome.The second part of the book focuses on the biblical account of creation and the fall of humanity. Lewis argues that these stories are not meant to be taken literally, but rather symbolically, as representations of the human condition. He also discusses the role of reason and intuition in understanding religious truths, and the importance of a personal relationship with God.Overall, Natural Religion: The Remains of Primitive Revelation is a thoughtful and thought-provoking exploration of the nature of religion and its place in human society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of philosophy, theology, and anthropology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
