Ithuriel's Spear: Or Is This Christianity? (1867)

By Henry Shepheard

Book Overview

Ithuriel's Spear: Or Is This Christianity? is a book written by Henry Shepheard and published in 1867. The book is a critical analysis of the Christian faith and its various interpretations, with a focus on the differences between the teachings of the Bible and the practices of the church. Shepheard argues that many of the beliefs and practices of Christianity are not rooted in the Bible, but rather in the traditions and institutions of the church. He questions the validity of many Christian doctrines, including the Trinity, the divinity of Jesus, and the concept of original sin. Shepheard also explores the role of the church in society and its impact on individuals and communities. The title of the book refers to Ithuriel, an angel in Milton's Paradise Lost who wields a spear that can reveal the truth about people and situations. Shepheard uses this metaphor to suggest that his book is a tool for uncovering the truth about Christianity and its relationship to the Bible. Overall, Ithuriel's Spear is a thought-provoking and challenging critique of the Christian faith that offers a fresh perspective on its history and teachings.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
