⿿The Analogy of Religion, Natural and Revealed, to the Constitution and Course of Nature⿝ by Joseph Butler, with additions by Samuel Hallifax and Daniel Wilson, explores the profound connections between the natural world and religious doctrines. Butler argues that understanding the natural order can illuminate and support the principles of revealed religion. This edition includes two dissertations: one on personal identity and the other on the nature of virtue, enriching the philosophical depth of the original work.

Butler⿿s seminal work remains a cornerstone in theological and philosophical discourse, challenging readers to consider the harmony between science and faith. It provides invaluable insights into the rational foundations of religious belief. This edition makes Butler's complex arguments accessible to contemporary readers, ensuring that his insights continue to inspire and provoke thought.
