The Christian Foundation, Or, Scientific and Religious Journal, Volume I, No. 9. September, 1880

In this thought‑provoking nineteenth‑century essay collection, a series of scholars examine how even the staunchest critics of Christianity acknowledge a single, supreme deity across ancient cultures. Drawing on the writings of Voltaire, classical poets, and Eastern scriptures, the work traces a common thread from the Greeks and Romans to the Brahmins, Chinese, and Persians. The author weaves these historical testimonies into a compelling case that the notion of one ultimate God is a universal human intuition.

The volume also turns its gaze toward the figure of Christ, presenting contemporary testimonies that portray him as a uniquely perfect embodiment of humanity and divinity. Through vivid descriptions of his early intellect, compassion, and moral authority, the contributors argue that his life offers a tangible model for the inspired ideal. Listeners will find the blend of scholarly citation and passionate rhetoric a window into Victorian‑era debates about faith, reason, and the shared roots of religious thought.
