Publisher's Synopsis
""A Letter to R. B. Gabriel: In Answer to Facts Relating to Dr. White's Bampton Lectures"" is a work of non-fiction written by an anonymous author who identifies themselves only as ""A University Member."" The book was first published in 1789 and is a response to a series of lectures given by Dr. Joseph White at Oxford University's Bampton Lectures in the same year. The author of ""A Letter to R. B. Gabriel"" takes issue with several of Dr. White's arguments, particularly those related to the nature of the Christian faith and the role of reason in religious belief. The author argues that Dr. White's lectures are overly reliant on rationalism and fail to take into account the importance of faith and spiritual experience in religious belief. Throughout the book, the author engages with Dr. White's arguments and provides their own perspective on the topics at hand. They draw on a variety of sources, including biblical passages, historical events, and philosophical theories, to support their arguments. While ""A Letter to R. B. Gabriel"" is a work of academic scholarship, it is also written in a style that is accessible to a general audience. The author's arguments are presented in clear and concise language, making the book an engaging read for anyone interested in the intersection of religion and philosophy. Overall, ""A Letter to R. B. Gabriel"" is a thought-provoking work that challenges readers to consider the nature of religious belief and the role of reason in our understanding of the divine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
