Publisher's Synopsis
The Natural History of Infidelity and Superstition in Contrast with Christian Faith: Eight Divinity Lecture Sermons is a book written by Joseph Esmond Riddle in 1852. The book is a collection of eight sermons that were delivered by the author at St. Mary's Church in Oxford, England. The sermons explore the themes of infidelity and superstition in contrast with Christian faith.Riddle begins by examining the natural history of infidelity, tracing its roots back to ancient Greece and Rome. He argues that infidelity is a natural result of human pride and the desire to be independent from God. Riddle then turns his attention to superstition, which he defines as a belief in supernatural powers that are not based on reason or evidence.Throughout the book, Riddle contrasts these two worldviews with the Christian faith, arguing that Christianity offers a rational and evidence-based alternative to both infidelity and superstition. He draws on a wide range of sources, including scripture, history, and philosophy, to make his case.Overall, The Natural History of Infidelity and Superstition in Contrast with Christian Faith is a thought-provoking exploration of some of the most fundamental questions of human existence. It offers a compelling argument for the truth and relevance of Christianity in the modern world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
