Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bethlehem, or Border Lands of Faith: A Historical Novel
In this new world, Christianity meets a new crisis in the evolution of a new civilization. Freedom of investigation bears at last the legitimate and whole some fruit of what is now becoming known as the higher criticism, and its honest and just conclusions have so shaken the ancient foundations of Faith, that sincere souls are wondering if anything real remains.
The closing years of the Nineteenth Century will, as certainly as the past cycles, reap its victories of truth, and the evolution of man, if not also of God, is now the question of the hour.
