Synopsis

""Fables of Infidelity and Facts of Faith"" is a book written by Robert Patterson in 1875. The book is essentially an examination of the evidences of infidelity and a defense of the Christian faith. Patterson argues that infidelity, or the rejection of religious faith, is based on fables and falsehoods, while faith is supported by facts and evidence. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which addresses a different aspect of infidelity and faith. Patterson discusses the historical evidence for Christianity, the reliability of the Bible, the nature of God, and the problem of evil, among other topics. He also critiques the arguments of prominent infidels of his time, such as Robert Ingersoll and Thomas Paine.Overall, ""Fables of Infidelity and Facts of Faith"" is a passionate defense of Christianity and a call to reject infidelity. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religious thought or the debate between faith and reason.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

If Infidels intend to convert the world, they must give ua some positive system of truth which we can believe, and von crate, and trust. A glimmering idea of this necessity seems lately to...

Every historical or scientific fact adduced in support of the arguments here used is confirmed by reference to the proper authority. But it has not been deemed needful to crowd the pages with references to the works of Christian apologists.
