One of the most influential Christian philosophers of his day, William Paley possessed exceptional reasoning and writing abilities which are best on display in The Works of William Paley (4 vols.). Known primarily for his contributions in ethics, philosophy, and natural theology, many of his works were used as textbooks at Cambridge, being widely used even until the 1920s.
Paley’s Principles of Moral and Political Philosophy was a foundational work in the area of Christian ethics, becoming one of the most popular books of the 19th century in both England and America. Coming at a time when slavery was the norm, Paley forcefully argues for the abolition of slavery, demonstrating how the scriptures give no grounds for its existence. Additionally, he takes up issues of women's rights and civil government. His exceptional ability at taking complex arguments and communicating them clearly has caused this work to be widely read until the present day.
