The Limits of Religious Thought

About this book

Henry Longueville Mansel's Bampton Lectures of 1858, an influential philosophical defense of revealed religion. Mansel argues that the human mind cannot comprehend the Absolute and Infinite directly, so reason must receive revelation humbly rather than sit in judgment on it. The lectures provoked wide debate and remain a notable nineteenth-century attempt to mark out the boundaries of theological knowledge.
