Publisher's Synopsis
Theological Essays And Other Papers V1 is a collection of writings by Thomas De Quincey, a prominent English essayist and literary critic of the 19th century. The book contains a series of essays on various theological topics, including the nature of God, the existence of evil, and the role of religion in society. Additionally, the volume includes several other papers on literary and philosophical subjects, such as Shakespeare's plays and the philosophy of Immanuel Kant. De Quincey's writing is characterized by his keen intellect and his ability to blend literary analysis with theological and philosophical insights. This book is an excellent resource for scholars and students interested in the intersection of literature, philosophy, and theology in the 19th century.Now these distinctions are important to the whole extent of the question. For the 2d case, which is the actual case of many miracles recorded in the New Testament, at once cuts away a large body of sources in which either error or deceit could lurk. Hume's argument supposes the reporter of the miracle to be a dupe, or the maker of dupes--himself deluded, or wishing to delude others. But, in the case of the thousands fed from a few loaves and small fishes, the chances of error, wilful or not wilful, are diminished in proportion to the number of observers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
