Excerpt from Christian Orthodoxy: Reconciled With the Conclusions of Modern Biblical Learning; A Theological Essay, With Critical and Controversial Supplements
The object of this book is the most important that could be proposed to a Christian divine in the middle of the nineteenth century. It is to make the evidences of our religion independent of all those objections which have been successfully urged by its opponents; to show that the faith, which is to render us happy here and hereafter, does not I est on the floating clouds of human dogmas, opinions, assumptions, and superstitions, but stands fixed on the granite basis of inherent truth and historical certainty.
In undertaking this work, I have been instigated mainly by a strong conviction that some such attempt is absolutely necessary at the present time. It appears to me to be imperatively demanded that some one, who has adequately studied the subject, should come forward, like Aaron, to take his stand between the living and the dead, and, by an offering of reconciliation, to stay the plague of unbelief, which has for some time followed in the train of a dishonest Bibliolatry.
