Natural Theology in the Age of Reason

Natural Theology in the Age of Reason refers to the study of God's existence and nature through reason, observation, and philosophy rather than religious dogma or scripture. During the 17th and 18th centuries, thinkers believed that human logic and the natural world could reveal evidence of a divine creator. This approach emphasized rational inquiry, such as examining the complexity of nature or moral order, to understand God. It aimed to demonstrate God's existence objectively, making theology accessible through human intellect, fostering a more enlightened exploration of faith in a scientific and philosophical era.
