    About this ebook

    This broad-ranging work by an eminent nineteenth-century theologian contrasts the skepticism of the Age of Reason with that of earlier centuries, as well as his own. Based on a series of lectures, topics include polytheism, deism, Pascal, Voltaire, Rousseau, John Stuart Mill, and many others—proving, among other points, that unbelief has passed from a defensive to an aggressive conviction.

      Why a Biblical View of History Must Be Restored

      Oct 28, 2022

      In the last few years, there appears to have been a renewed interest in the field of history. Often derided as the study of ‘dates and dead people’, the subject was viewed as less important than say, maths or science. So, while it is encouraging to n
