Botanical Theology: Or Evidences Of The Existence And Attributes Of The Deity is a book written by John Shute Duncan in 1826. The book explores the relationship between botany and theology, arguing that the study of plants provides evidence for the existence and attributes of God. Duncan begins by discussing the beauty and complexity of plants, which he believes are evidence of a divine creator. He then goes on to explore the ways in which plants are adapted to their environments, arguing that this adaptation is proof of God's wisdom and providence. Throughout the book, Duncan draws on examples from the natural world to illustrate his arguments, discussing topics such as the structure of flowers, the role of insects in pollination, and the way in which plants reproduce. He also discusses the ways in which plants have been used in religious and spiritual practices throughout history. Overall, Botanical Theology is a thoughtful and insightful exploration of the relationship between nature and spirituality. It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in botany, theology, or the intersection of science and religion.Collected From The Appearances Of Nature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
