Publisher's Synopsis
""A Defense of the Christian Religion from the Several Objections of Modern Antiscripturists"" is a book written by Thomas Stackhouse in 1741. The book is a response to the objections raised by the Antiscripturists, who were a group of people that rejected the authority of the Bible and denied the divinity of Jesus Christ. Stackhouse, a theologian and clergyman, sets out to defend the Christian religion against these objections and to demonstrate the truth of the Bible.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which addresses a different objection raised by the Antiscripturists. Stackhouse begins by discussing the nature of religion and the role of reason in understanding religious truths. He then goes on to address specific objections, such as the claim that the Bible is full of contradictions, that it is a product of human invention, and that it is inconsistent with reason.Throughout the book, Stackhouse draws on a wide range of sources, including the Bible, historical documents, and philosophical arguments, to support his arguments. He also engages with the writings of prominent Antiscripturists, such as Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, in order to refute their claims.Overall, ""A Defense of the Christian Religion from the Several Objections of Modern Antiscripturists"" is a comprehensive and detailed defense of the Christian faith. It is an important work in the history of Christian apologetics and continues to be studied and debated by scholars and theologians today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
