Excerpt from Divine Origin of Christianity

1. There cannot be a more important question proposed than this: - "Is the religion of Christ from God, or is it a cunningly-devised fable?"

Many remarks might be offered to illustrate the overwhelming importance of this inquiry. The following deserve attention. Christianity has been acknowledged divine by the wisest, the greatest, and the most talented of mankind. This fact is not brought forward as an evidence of the Divine Origin of Christianity, but as a fact that shows the unreasonableness and folly of neglecting to investigate its evidences. Bacon, the father of modern philosophy, who has been represented as "the wisest and brightest of mankind," was a Christian. Newton, the most distinguished of philosophers, whose fame spreads through an admiring world, wrote in defence of Christianity.
