Synopsis

Hook line : A thoughtful, accessible examination of Christian ethics, miracles, and moral testimony from a skeptical perspective.

The book invites readers to follow a careful, evidence‑oriented critique of how Christian ethics compares with other systems. It explores whether miracles and religious claims stand up to reason, and what moral testimony tells us about belief, virtue, and society. This edition presents clear arguments, historical context, and reflections suitable for readers curious about faith, doubt, and moral ideas.

• Examine how Christian ethics has been defended and tested across history
• Consider how evidence and testimony shape beliefs about miracles and morality
• Explore tensions between religious claims and public virtue, slavery, and gender
• Access approachable discussions at the intersection of ethics, religion, and skepticism

Ideal for readers of philosophy, religious studies, and skeptical inquiry.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In what proportions it is composed of either would probably require a very acute critic accurately to determine. As the Editor makes no pretensions to such acumen as he can lay claim to only an imperfect knowledge of the principal personage in the volume, and never had any personal acquaintance with the singular youth, some traits of whose character, and some glimpses of whose history are here given, he leaves the above question to the decision of the reader. At the same time, it is of no consequence in the world. The character and purport of the volume are sufficiently disclosed in the parting words of the Journalist. It aspires as is justly said, to none of the appropriate interest either of a novel or a biography. It might have been very properly entitled Theological Fragments. March 31, 1852.
