This publication comprises a complete collection of writings on religion and utilitarianism, illustrating both the sympathetic and antagonistic relationship between the principles of utility and religious beliefs in the 18th and 19th centuries. Divided into two parts, religious and secular, the collection reprints the most important and salient contributions to the debate. It includes both the well-known writers and the lesser-known but equally important contributors, making this volume a one-stop resource for undergraduates, graduates, academics in the field, and all those interested in the relation of politics to religious belief. All materials are newly typeset. As well as two general introductions the collection features a biographical note on each author and detailed notes on each text.
