Evidences of ChristianityGood Press, 29.11.2019 - 359 Seiten This book provides an analysis of the historical evidence of the Christian religion. Through a series of well-structured and lucidly written arguments, Paley establishes the antecedent credibility of miracles and then proceeds to provide a detailed account of the direct historical evidence supporting the authenticity of the Christian scriptures. In this book, the author also examines the auxiliary evidence, including prophecy and the morality of the Christian religion, and compares the evidence for Christianity with that for other similar miracles. The book is a timeless classic that focuses on the historical and philosophical foundations of Christianity. |
