Download or read book Christianity Not Founded on Argument written by Henry Dodwell and published by . This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DODWELL, HENRY, the younger (d. 1784), deist, fourth child and eldest son of Henry Dodwell [q. v.], was born at Shottesbrooke, Berkshire, probably about the beginning of the eighteenth century. He was educated at Magdalen Hall, Oxford, where he proceeded B.A. 9 Feb. 1726. Subsequently he studied law. He is said to have been 'a polite, humane, and benevolent man,' and to have taken a very active part in the early proceedings of the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce. But the one circumstance which alone has rescued his name from oblivion was the publication of a very remarkable pamphlet in 1742, entitled 'Christianity not founded on Argument.' The work was published anonymously, but Dodwell was well known to be the author. It was professedly written in defence of Christianity, and many thought at the time, and some think even still, that it was written in all seriousness. But its tendency obviously is to reduce Christianity to an absurdity, and, judging from the internal evidence of the work, the writer appears to have been far too keen-sighted a man not to perceive that this must be the conclusion arrived at by those who accept his arguments. To understand his work, it must be remembered that 'reasonableness' was the keynote to all the discussions respecting theology in the first half of the eighteenth century. The pamphlet appeared towards the close of the deistical controversy, after the deists had been trying to prove for half a century that a belief in revealed religion was unreasonable, and the orthodox that it was reasonable. In opposition to both, Dodwell maintained that 'assent to revealed truth, founded upon the conviction of the understanding, is a false and unwarrantable notion;' that 'that person best enjoys faith who never asked himself a question about it, and never dwelt at all on the evidence of reason;' that 'the Holy Ghost irradiates the souls of believers at once with an irresistible light from heaven that flashes conviction in a moment, so that this faith is completed in an instant, and the most perfect and finished creed produced at once without any tedious progress in deductions of our own;' that 'the rational Christian must have begun as a sceptic; must long have doubted whether the gospel was true or false. And can this,' he asks, 'be the faith that overcometh the world? Can this be the faith that makes a martyr?' After much more to the same effect, he concludes, 'therefore, my son, give thyself to the Lord with thy whole heart, and lean not to thy own understanding.'At the time when Dodwell wrote the reaction had begun to set in against this exaltation of 'reason' and a 'reasonable Christianity.' William Law had written his 'Case of Reason,' &c., in which he strives to show that reason had no case at all, and Dodwell's pamphlet seems like a travesty of that very able work. The Methodists had begun to preach with startling effects the doctrines of the 'new birth' and instantaneous conversion, and some of them hailed the new writer as a valuable ally, and recommended him as such to John Wesley. But Wesley was far too clear-sighted not to see the real drift of the work. 'On a careful perusal,' he writes, 'of that piece, notwithstanding my prejudice in its favour, I could not but perceive that the great design uniformly pursued throughout the work was to render the whole of the Christian institution both odious and contemptible. His point throughout is to prove that Christianity is contrary to reason, or that no man acting according to the principles of reason can possibly be a Christian. It is a wonderful proof of the power that smooth words may have even on serious minds that so many have mistook such a writer as this for a friend of Christianity' (Earnest Appeal to Men of Reason and Religion, p. 14).

Book excerpt: Strident New Atheists who seek to disprove God make historical attacks on the New Testament Gospels as a major part of their strategy. According to the late Christopher Hitchens, in God Is Not Great, 'The case for biblical consistency or authenticity or "inspiration" has been in tatters for some time, and the rents and tears only become more obvious with better research, and thus no "revelation" can be derived from that quarter.' In responding to Hitchens and others, Paul Barnett concedes that their instincts are correct: destroy the credibility of the Gospels and you destroy the credibility of Jesus and thus the credibility of God and the structure of Christian belief. The issue of 'gospel truth', that is, of the Gospels' historical truth, is of critical importance. Barnett surveys the main issues and questions, offering historical arguments in response to the critics and sceptics: New Testament dating and history, hostile witnesses to Jesus, his immediate impact, wider world history, archaeology, contradictions in the Gospels, the stories of Jesus' birth, miracles, the resurrection of Jesus, and other 'gospel' texts. He concludes with a clear affirmation of true and trustworthy revelation from God in the Gospels and in the person of Jesus Christ. This helpful, accessible volume will be of lasting value to all with an interest in the issues and debates.
Download or read book Beyond a Reasonable Doubt written by Larry Siekawitch and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2020-12-04 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered if there is anything to the concepts of God, religion, and miracles? Are you the kind of person that doesn’t just want to stick their head in the sand and be duped by someone who says “You just need to take a leap in the dark and believe”? I hear you. Or perhaps you are a Christian, but you have some doubts. I want to share the evidence for Christianity in a succinct, readable (with a slight touch of humor), and compelling way using the concept of American jurisprudence, which demands good reasoning but not necessarily one hundred percent proof to make its case. Average, commonsense people live this way all the time, and this book is for them. This book will benefit the average Christian, giving valuable information in a memorable way so that they can share their faith with confidence. It will also benefit those who don’t know Christ yet by its brevity, clarity, and persuasive nature. I begin talking about common sense using American jurisprudence and the concept of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. I then make a case using common sense to gradually move a person down the line from unbeliever to believer. I first help the atheist see why it is more reasonable to be an agnostic. Then I aid the agnostic in realizing it is more fitting to be a theist (a believer in a supreme being) than to stay agnostic. Next, I assist the theist into embracing Christianity. If there is a God, then it makes sense that He would reveal Himself in such a way that we don’t have to wander in the dark all our lives. Then I cover the thorny question of properly interpreting the Bible. I conclude with a satisfying answer to the legitimate question of why an all-powerful and all-loving God would allow so much evil and suffering in the world. Is there evidence for God and Jesus? I think you will be surprised.
Download or read book Freethinking Jesus written by Isaiah Fiftythree and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-11-11 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I don't want you to "believe in" anything. I just want you to get your facts straight. What you do with the facts... I am a freethinker. Maybe you are too. For 50 years of my life, I was not just a freethinker, I was an anti-Christian. I know every argument against Jesus Christ and the Bible. Perhaps you don't see yourself as an anti-Christian, but if you are a freethinker, you probably have several arguments against Christianity. Could one be that Christians are judgmental and narrow minded? Could another be that Christians are generally weak people who need religion? That they fell for a book that was written by ancient kings to control the masses? It is a long list, we won't go through it now, but you know the list. Eight years ago I turned my freethinking ways toward an honest investigation of the life of Jesus of Nazareth. I finally read that book I swore I would never read, the Bible. My life has never been the same. But, I don't want you to believe me. I don't want you to be persuaded to my opinion. Rather, I want to put a pebble in your shoe; I want to make you feel uncomfortable. I want to take you on a journey. I want you to join me on a tour of my old worldview, and have you see how thoroughly illogical it was. I suspect you will identify with my old views, and find yourself getting quite uncomfortable as I expose the illogic of disbelief. "Really?" you might say. "Are you suggesting I might be illogical? Christians are the ones who are illogical, believing in something they can't see!" I know. Believe me, I know this is not an easy topic to broach. I don't want you to feel offended and turn your brain off, or worse, not read this book altogether. Don't run away. And please keep thinking clearly. I am a friend, not a foe. I am more like you than you imagine. In the interest in keeping the bad news up front, though, I have worse news for you. Not only was my worldview illogical, I wasn't aware of my illogic because I was so emotionally invested in my views. And, yes, it is likely you are there, too. "No!" you might respond. "Christians are the ones who are emotionally attached!!! I am on the side of science!" Come, take a journey with me. This book will prove to you without a doubt just how illogical it is to cling to emotionally charged disbelief. I don't want you to believe me. I want you to get your facts straight, and then doubt your current conclusions. Not an easy task because you are certain you have thought it through. Perhaps you are a scientific freethinker. You have made a career from your left brain, and you are probably quite confident that your brain will never fail you in thinking through a problem. Your motto might be "I am smarter than the problem." Alternatively, you are an artistic freethinker. Your right brain has never failed you in coming up with "out of the box" concepts. You've come to trust that when everyone else is thinking linearly, your brain seems to think multi-dimensionally and you find the right solution to win everyone over. How do I know you? I am just like you. I, too, am a freethinker. But, after 50 years of being a freethinking anti-Christian, God brought me to my knees. And when I look back, I wish somebody had handed me this book. It would have saved me years of...
