Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""Are Brutes Immortal? An Enquiry, Conducted Mainly By The Light Of Nature Into Bishop Butler�������s Hypotheses"" is a book written by John Cox Boyce in 1861. The book is an exploration of the question of whether animals have an immortal soul. The author examines the arguments put forth by Bishop Butler in his work ""Analogy of Religion"" and attempts to reconcile them with the idea of animal immortality. Boyce conducts his enquiry mainly by using the light of nature, that is, by using reason and observation rather than relying on religious doctrine. He examines the behavior and characteristics of animals, as well as their physical makeup, in order to determine whether they possess an immortal soul. Throughout the book, Boyce also considers the implications of animal immortality for human morality and religion. He discusses the idea that if animals are indeed immortal, then they must be held accountable for their actions in the same way that humans are. This raises questions about the nature of sin and redemption, and whether animals can be saved or damned. Overall, ""Are Brutes Immortal?"" is a thought-provoking exploration of a complex and controversial topic. Boyce's use of reason and observation, rather than dogma, makes the book accessible to a wide range of readers, and his insights into the implications of animal immortality are still relevant today.And Concessions On The Subject, As Given In Part 1, Chapter 1 Of His Analogy Of Religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
