Synopsis

Explore the evidences for Christianity through thoughtful, measured debate. This collection presents a practical guide to apologetics, examining how belief stands up to reason, history, and moral experience. Written by a group of Protestant Episcopal scholars, it surveys how evidence should shape faith and how religious scepticism meets its match in careful argument.

The lectures argue that the gospel is a finished, perfect revelation, not a moving target for new theories. They contrast rationalistic development with the moral force of faith, and they outline methods for testing testimony, understanding prophecy, and interpreting historical claims. The work emphasizes the role of conscience, experience, and the Holy Spirit in guiding belief, while urging readers to ground faith in well-supported truths.


  • Clear discussion of practical versus theoretical questions in belief and doubt

  • Arguments about the nature of revelation, inspiration, and scriptural authority

  • Assessments of how evidence functions in history, prophecy, and miracles

  • Focus on moral and experiential foundations of faith, not just abstract logic



Ideal for readers seeking a measured, historical approach to Christian apologetics and its use in contemporary belief.
