Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Skeptic; Or, Discussions of an Unbeliever: With a Calvinist, an Arminian and an Universalist
As I said in the preface of the Dialogues on Theology, so I now say with increased emphasis It is not probable that the readers of that book ever expected to hear from me again as an author. I certainly did not expect they would but the same reasons which at that time prompted me to write, still exist. I still live. And I feel physically and mentally able to perform the necessary work, and unable to do much manual labor. And my mind, so far as I can judge, is still somewhat vigorous snd active, and I love to keep it employed. And the great subject upon which I usually write Our immortal destiny - is by no means exhausted, and has lost none of its interest to me, and wlll be my theme at this time.
But I have other and more special reasons for this attempt. The two prominent characters represented in the Dialogues were both believers of the Bible and the Christian religion. And the question at issue between them was not - are they true for they both believed they were; but, what do they teach? Now it is well known that there is a class among na who do not accept the Bible or the Christian religion as of di vine origin, and Universalists are not unfrequently, though very unjustly, classed with them. And one prominent object of this little volume is, if possible, to reach them, and draw them to the truth. To convince them that the good old Bible con tains a revelation from God, and brings to as Glad tidings of great joy, which shall (eventually) be to all people.
