Biblical Extracts; Or, The Holy Scriptures Analyzed; Showing Its Contradictions, Absurdities, And Immoralities

By Robert Cooper

Book Overview

A bold, lucid challenge to received wisdom, Biblical Extracts invites readers to consider sacred texts with historical, philosophical rigour and humane scepticism. Robert Cooper's early nineteenth-century polemic is more than a critique; it is a carefully argued map of a complete religious critique. The work surveys the Bible's teachings with a keen eye for contradictions, moral absurdities, and the broader questions they raise about faith and ethics. Written for an academic readership and suitable for university study use, it sits at the crossroads of biblical criticism classics and philosophical theology polemics, offering clear, accessible argument alongside rich literary parallels. This republication by Alpha Editions anchors a piece of literary history within today's conversations about belief, doubt, and interpretation. The book's Victorian era context-born from and for early nineteenth-century Britain-shines through in its rigorous method, its historical sensibility, and its enduring relevance to scholars, students, and thoughtful readers who relish careful analysis of religious language and its cultural consequences. It is not merely a reprint but a restored artefact, revived for now and for future generations. A compact, compelling volume that will appeal to casual readers drawn to polemics and to collectors who prize historical religious critique. It is a bold, exacting companion for those who value scholarly clarity, rigorous argument, and the rich dialogue between faith and reason.
