Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Apology for the Bible, in a Series of Letters, Addressed to Thomas Paine, Author of the Book Entitled the Age of Reason, Part the Second: Being an Investigation of True and Fabulous Theology
The just distinction which Paine had earned in the cause of freedom, paved the way for his ready and even enthusiastic reception as a writer on Religion. Here, however, his ordinary resources failed him. Even his head was no match for his heart; nor his natural acuteness, for his total ignorance of the first elements of Biblical Criticism. This, it is conceived is very conclusively demonstrated, in Watson's Apology for the Bible. This work though noticed at the time of its appearance.
