FABLES OF INFIDELITY
AND
Facts of Faith:
PREFACE.
CHAPTER I. - Did The World Make Itself?
CHAPTER II. - Was Your Mother a Monkey?
CHAPTER III. - Is God Everybody, and Everybody God?
CHAPTER IV. - Have We Any Need of the Bible?
CHAPTER V. - Who Wrote The New Testament?
CHAPTER VI. - Is The Gospel Fact or Fable?
A careful, conversational survey of the arguments that modern skeptics bring to the table, this work asks readers to listen to the claims of infidelity before weighing their own convictions. The author draws on the lively debates and pamphlets circulating in towns, factories and lecture halls, showing how many of these new philosophies contradict themselves even as they promise certainty. By laying those contradictions bare, the book invites anyone uneasy with doubt to consider what a positive, sustaining worldview might look like.
Written with an eye toward the everyday reader, the text mixes historical anecdotes with clear‑cut reasoning, exposing the allure of secular systems while gently reminding us of the deeper questions of purpose and hope. It does not promise a final proof, but rather equips listeners with familiar examples and logical tools to navigate the flood of competing ideas. Those who enjoy thoughtful, respectful engagement with the big questions of faith will find this a compelling guide for their own spiritual reflection.

A 19th-century religious writer and minister, he is best remembered for works that defended Christian belief against atheism, rationalism, and other skeptical currents of his day. His books speak in a direct, argumentative style aimed at ordinary readers rather than specialists.
