Steps Of Belief

Steps of Belief: Or Rational Christianity Maintained Against Atheism, Free Religion, and Romanism is a book written by James Freeman Clarke in 1870. The book is a defense of Christianity against the rising tide of atheism, free religion, and Roman Catholicism in the late 19th century. Clarke argues that Christianity is a rational belief system that can be defended against the attacks of skeptics and opponents. The book is divided into three parts, each of which deals with a different aspect of the defense of Christianity. The first part examines the nature of belief and the role of reason in the Christian faith. The second part looks at the evidence for Christianity, including the historical evidence for the life of Jesus and the reliability of the Bible. The third part deals with the challenge of Roman Catholicism and the differences between Protestant and Catholic beliefs. Throughout the book, Clarke emphasizes the importance of reason and evidence in the defense of Christianity, and argues that faith and reason are not mutually exclusive. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, and is aimed at a general audience interested in the defense of Christianity against its critics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
