The remaining discourses, on the attributes of God Viz

by Tillotson, John

This seminal collection offers a profound exploration of the divine nature, examining the essential qualities of the Creator through the dual lenses of reason and revelation. These discourses provide a masterclass in theological clarity, moving away from dense scholasticism toward an accessible, moral philosophy. By meticulously analyzing attributes such as wisdom, holiness, and goodness, the work serves as a foundational text for understanding Enlightenment-era religious thought. It remains an essential resource for scholars of historical theology and readers seeking a rational, eloquent approach to the mysteries of faith.
