Why Is Christianity True Christian Evidences Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Why Is Christianity True? Christian Evidences Many believers and many more would-be believers in Christianity are staggered by the assumptions and sometimes by the reasoned conclusions of current science or philosophy. The need is great for a restatement of the grounds of our Christian belief. Indeed, in recent years numerous works on the subject have appeared. In Great Britain especially many valuable manuals have been published. Of the more recent and extended works in English those of Professors Fisher and Bruce stand in the front rank. Both of them are exceedingly valuable as general treatises. Other works not so elaborate have done admirable service. Among these may be named Mr. Ballard's vigorous book entitled The Miracles of Unbelief, in which he deals many a stalwart blow by means of a single conception consistently applied, at all points of the attack upon Christian belief. Mr. Robertson Nicoll's The Church's One Foundation states with great clearness and force the real issues raised by recent destructive critical theories. Some writers on the evidences of Christianity, however, surrender so much that their productions seem to be books on Christian evidences with Christianity left out.

Excerpt from The Positive Evidences of Christianity The following pages, therefore, will discuss the Christian Evidences in an order modeled upon that which is constantly followed in our legal tribunals. There the examination of the evidence presented consists of two main parts; and the inquiry is made - first, whether the testimony offered is actual testimony in the case under consideration - that is, whether it has any material bearing upon the case, and whether it is true; and, secondly, being mate rial and true, what is its weight? Accord ingly, such is the order followed here. The work is therefore divided into two Parts: The Second Part discusses - The Weight of the Ev idence in favor of the Divinity of Christianity, and presents in its proof: (a) The Superhu man Facts upon which Christianity is founded, as displayed in - l. The Advent of Christ; 2. The Character of Christ; 3. His Teachings; 4. His Prophecies; 5. His Miracles. (b) Its Superhuman Results, in the changes it has wrought in the characters and lives of men.

Excerpt from Evidences of Christianity Evidences in the wider sense. - And so the student of Christian Evidences is justified in including within the scope of his inquiry those elementary ideas of God and religion which, though not distinctive of Christianity, are its groundwork. In taking this wider sweep he is enabled to meet the arguments of different classes of assailants. There are those who profess belief in a God while denying in whole or in part the truth of the Christian revelation. There are also Opponents with whom he seems to have less in common. Besides the Atheist, who utterly denies the existence of a God, there is the Agnostic, who grudgingly admits the possibility of a God, but asserts that if He does exist He cannot possibly be known.

Excerpt from Apologetics or a Treatise on Christian Evidences Some things are true in all religions. Each system seems to have, in a sense, its historical basis. Each sets up its claim of supernatural origin. But, one by one, as they are subjected to a critical analysis, and the severe test of truth is faithfully applied, their claims, which are fundamental, are found to consist in myth, not in fact. Christianity, which is founded on the Old and the New Testaments, is an exception to the above statement. The more severe, the broader, and the more scientific the tests which have been applied to Christianity, the more invulnerable has it proved to such attacks.
