An Answer To Mr. De Fontenelle's History Of Oracles (1709)

By Jean François Baltus

Book Overview

An Answer to Mr. De Fontenelle's History of Oracles is a book written by Jean Francois Baltus in 1709. The book is a response to Bernard Le Bovier de Fontenelle's History of Oracles, which was published in 1687. In his book, Baltus argues against Fontenelle's claim that oracles were nothing more than the result of human deception and trickery. He presents evidence from ancient texts and historical accounts to support his argument that oracles were a genuine means of communication with the divine. Baltus also critiques Fontenelle's views on religion and the nature of God. The book is written in a scholarly and erudite style, and is considered an important work in the history of philosophy and theology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
