Hodegus Confuted

Hodegus Confuted: In A Plain Demonstration is a book written by John Toland in 1721. The book is a refutation of the work of the Jesuit scholar Father Jacques Lelong, who had written a defense of the Catholic Church and its teachings. Toland, a prominent Irish philosopher and freethinker, argues against Lelong's claims, using reason and evidence to demonstrate the fallacies in his arguments. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on Lelong's defense of the Church's authority and the second part addressing his defense of its doctrines. Toland's writing is clear and concise, making his arguments easy to understand for readers of all levels of education. The book is an important work in the history of religious and philosophical thought, as it challenges the traditional ideas of religious authority and encourages critical thinking and skepticism.In A Plain Demonstration That The Pillar Of A Cloud And Fire Which Led The Israelites Thru The Wilderness Was Not As Mr. Toland Vainly Imagines, A Fire Of Human Preparation, But The Most Miraculous And Awful Presence Of God, Under The Similitude Of A Column Of Cloud And Fire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
