Mr. Belloc still objects to Mr. Wells's "Outline of history"

A determined and articulate defense of the Christian faith opens this pamphlet, where the author confronts a well‑known secular historian’s sweeping “Outline of History.” He argues that the work not only misrepresents the foundations of Christianity but also displays a startling ignorance of modern biology, early Christian texts, and core doctrine. By examining the historian’s claims point by point, the writer seeks to protect the sacred truths that many still hold dear.

Rather than indulging in personal attacks, the author focuses on scholarly shortcomings, exposing contradictions and factual errors with clear, concise reasoning. His tone is both passionate and measured, aiming to reach readers who value thoughtful critique over sensational controversy. The pamphlet offers a snapshot of an early twentieth‑century clash between faith and historical narrative, inviting listeners to reflect on how history can be wielded—and sometimes misused—in debates over belief.
