Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Triumphs of the Bible: With the Testimony of Science to Its Truth The following pages are the result of an effort to produce a book of Christian Evidences, adapted to the exigencies of the times. Upon a subject which has occupied so many illustrious minds, and given birth to monuments of sanctified genius and learning that rank among the foremost achievements of the human intellect, it might be supposed that nothing more was needed. Yet rich as English literature is in defences of our faith, most of them were written with distinct reference to some particular errors which they opposed in their own day. They are still, and will ever remain, invaluable to the student, as depositories and armories of research and argument, but they are not directly available against the peculiar difficulties with which Christianity is now called to contend. The objections which are brought against the religion of the Bible at the present day, are of a very different character from those which were so conclusively met by the profound and masterly reasonings of Butler, Campbell, Paley, Leland, and others. The adversary has returned to the assault with far deeper artifices and more plausible disguises. "Forms of error more subtile than ever Ebionite propounded or Marcionite devised, are now silently producing their influence on thousands and tens of thousands who bear on their foreheads the baptismal cross of Christ." "Infidelity of late," said Dr. Croly, "has changed its tone; it is no longer contemptuous, insulting, and audacious. It now assumes the pretence of reluctant doubt, laborious learning, and conscientious investigation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
