Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Half Truths and the Truth: Lectures on the Origin and Development of Prevailing Forms of Unbelief, Considered in Relation to the Nature and Claims of the Christian System
The invidious use of this term in theological contro versy must strike all fair minds as the extreme of Invidious meanness and cowardly na manliness. It always alfrgf the injures the cause in whose behalf it is employed. When not a confession of weakness, it is 'a blunder. All are repelled by it, save those whom prejudice or rude pas sion has blinded nor does it in?uence even these, except for the time being. Though the poisoned arrow with which a prostrate antagonist seeks to wound his cou queror, though the desperate cry by which he summons to his rescue the pack of ignorant and noisy zealots, yet it ever fails to deliver him, while at the same time it makes his defeat doubly disgraceful.
