What it is
A defence of Christianity against both atheism and enthusiasm, arguing that reason and a purified imagination together lead to a rational and moderate faith.
Why it lasted
A central work of Cambridge Platonism, and part of an effort to make religion defensible in the age of the new science.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
