Secondary Sources
Butler, Joseph, and Joseph Angus. The Analogy of Religion to the Constitution and Course of Nature: Also, Fifteen Sermons, on Subjects Chiefly Ethical. Religious Tract Society, 1855.
This source includes Bishop Joseph Butler’s most famous works, The Analogy of Religion and Fifteen Sermons. In the beginning of the book there is information on Butler’s life, testimonials about the value of Butler’s works, and remarks about the work by Butler and by the editor. Finally, it also includes commentary and notes about the work throughout. I will be primarily using the section about Butler’s life and the remarks by the editor.
Smith, William Holt (1925). The Influence of Bishop Butler’s Analogy in American Apologetic Thinking [Unpublished doctoral dissertation]. University of Chicago.
This source is a dissertation and serves, according to Author, as a biography on Joseph Butler’s Analogy. It discusses the context in which Butler’s ideas came about and were a response to and reviews the goals, methods and features of Butler’s Analogy. Smith’s dissertation also dives into how Butler’s ideas affected American apologetic thinking and its later interactions with Darwin’s views.
Wilson, Daniel. The Analogy of Religion, Natural and Revealed, To the Constitution and Course of Nature. Consisting of a Criticism of Butler’s Treatise on the Subject, together with A View of the Connexion of the Arguments of the Analogy, with the other main branches of the evidences of Christianity in Butler’s work. Robert Carter, 58 Canal-Street New York.
Wilson’s criticisms are those of an admirer hoping to give an explanation and better understanding to a reader new to Butler’s writing style and ideas. It wishes to illuminate some of Butler’s particular views on Christianity itself and apply some of his philosophical teachings to practical points of Christianity.
