George Benson was an English theologian and biblical scholar, noted for his contributions to the field of Christian apologetics during the early 18th century. He was particularly recognized for his writings that aimed to defend the Christian faith against skepticism and to articulate the rational foundations of Christianity. His works often engaged with contemporary philosophical debates, addressing the challenges posed by rationalism and empiricism in religious belief.

Benson's scholarly output included significant responses to prominent critiques of Christianity, such as those presented by H. Dodwell. His efforts to reconcile faith with reason distinguished him in his era, as he sought to provide a robust intellectual framework for believers. Through his sermons and published works, he influenced a generation of thinkers who valued the interplay between faith and reason, and his legacy continues to resonate in discussions of religious philosophy today.
