It is the purpose of this essay to look at Lord Brougham primarily as a philosopher and, speaking loosely, theologian. It seems fair to say that the puzzle of Brougham's thought cannot be put together without such a consideration. I shall argue that Brougham is the kind of liberal thinker who rejected the Christian moral teaching while refraining from a frontal assault on Christian Revelation, and who opted instead for a rational theism, derived from the modem Lockean tradition but also in some sense inspired by the philosophers of pagan antiquity
