Description and Table of Contents

Description

A theological author of the late-18th century, the writings of William Paley (1743-1805) included works on moral and political philosophy, and the evidences of Christianity and natural theology. These, together with his sermons, represent a complete system of divinity. Paley was influenced by Locke, Edmund Law and Abraham Tucker. His writings display the comprehensiveness of liberal Anglican divinity in the late-18th century. Paley's later sermons, included here, discuss topics not treated elsewhere in his writings, including weakness of will, the need of conversion, the influence of the Spirit, and efficacy of Christ's death. This edition of Paley's works includes a volume of biography and miscellany, and also letters and transcripts of Paley's lectures.
