The author presents this work with the profound conviction that all true religion and particularly the Christian religion, must sooner or later perish from the earth and then nothing can stop, first, the spiritual and moral corruption, and then the disintegration, of human society. And, moreover, that the only possibility of the rational and permanent acceptance of the sacred scriptures as undeniably divine, lies in the widespread dissemination of the doctrine regarding its true nature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
