Publisher's Synopsis
The Field-Ingersoll Discussion: Faith Or Agnosticism? is a book that documents a debate that took place in 1888 between Henry Martyn Field, a Christian minister, and Robert G. Ingersoll, a prominent agnostic and orator. The book is a transcription of the debate, which was held in New York City and attended by a large audience. The debate centered around the question of whether faith or agnosticism was the better worldview. Field argued that faith in God was necessary for a meaningful and fulfilling life, while Ingersoll argued that agnosticism, or the belief that the existence of God cannot be proven or disproven, was a more rational and honest approach. Throughout the debate, both Field and Ingersoll presented their arguments and responded to each other's points. They discussed topics such as the nature of God, the role of religion in society, and the relationship between faith and reason. The Field-Ingersoll Discussion: Faith Or Agnosticism? provides a fascinating glimpse into a historical debate between two prominent thinkers with opposing views on religion and spirituality. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religious thought or the ongoing debate between faith and reason.A Series Of Articles From The North American Review.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
