Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Revealed Religion
The leading objections against Christianity have been the same In all time, and Dr. Hettinger, in dealing with them, naturally takes the Fathers and Schoolmen for his guides. These objections fall always under two chief heads. The rationalists, like the Jews, deny the fact of Revelation, the sceptics, like the Gentiles, its possibility. And neither Paulus or the older rationalists, or Strauss, or Renan, or any of the more modern type, have added substantially to the a priori arguments of Trypho and Celsus. In fact, the two former explain the Resurrection in the very words of Celsus, as the mere invention of a deluded woman. To a whole class of sceptical ex planations of a similar kind the words of Origen fitly apply, that the incredible character of such asser tions palpably betray their falsehood.1 Yet they pass current. The letters of the Mahatmas find evidence where the Epistles of St. Paul are rejected.
