Beginning ofT hings, and the assumption by the Higher Criticism school of thought, which in modern times has sprung into existence, to found a new system of Biblical exegesis, led the writer, some two years ago, to commence an exhaustive examination of the various issues involved. As his investigations progressed a large number of deeply interesting problems, in different departments of human knowledge, presented themselves for consideration. The result was, that he finally came to the conclusion that a brief review of these problems, from a popular standpoint, could scarcely fail to be at once interesting and useful to that large class of persons whose business or other avocations preclude them from making, for themselves, the necessarily extensive researches which the wide nature of the subject demands. He is not writing, by any means, for the benefit of the professional specialist, nor for the very learned classes otherwise, but for those worthy everyday people who, while always desirous of acquiring useful information, make common-sense their guiding principle, not only in dealing with questions that arise out of the more important incidents of ordinary life, but also as regards those questions which affect their moral and religious welfare.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the extraordinary relationship between religion and science, particularly in reference to the Bible, geology, and evolution. Despite persistent attacks on the Old Testament, the Bible remains a powerful force, shaping human lives and cultures for millennia. The author examines the foundational role the Bible plays in Christianity, and contrasts that with the rise of agnostic theories. Various figures from history, such as Copernicus, Lyell, and Huxley, are discussed in relation to their scientific discoveries, while the theories of notable agnostics like Kant and Darwin are also explored. This book ultimately showcases the enduring significance of the Bible and its teachings, despite the challenges posed by modern science.
