Book Overview

Ingersoll's Ghosts: An Examination of Robert G. Ingersoll's Objections to the Bible is a book written by John C. Stuart and originally published in 1885. The book is a critical analysis of the objections raised by Robert G. Ingersoll, a prominent American lawyer and orator, against the Bible and Christianity. Ingersoll was known for his outspoken atheism and his speeches and writings were widely circulated in the late 19th century.Stuart's book is a point-by-point refutation of Ingersoll's arguments against the Bible. Stuart examines Ingersoll's objections to the Bible's historical accuracy, its moral teachings, and its claims to divine inspiration. He also addresses Ingersoll's criticisms of Christianity, including his rejection of the doctrine of the Trinity and his skepticism about the resurrection of Jesus.Stuart argues that Ingersoll's objections to the Bible are based on a flawed understanding of its teachings and a lack of knowledge of historical and theological scholarship. He also criticizes Ingersoll's reliance on rhetoric and emotional appeals rather than reasoned argumentation.Ingersoll's Ghosts is a significant work of apologetics from the late 19th century and offers a valuable perspective on the debates surrounding Christianity and atheism during that time period. It is also a reminder of the enduring importance of critical engagement with opposing viewpoints in the pursuit of truth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
