The Pretensions Of Bishop Colenso: To Impeach The Wisdom And Veracity Of The Compilers Of The Holy Scriptures (1863)

By James Robert Page

Book Overview

The book ""The Pretensions of Bishop Colenso: To Impeach the Wisdom and Veracity of the Compilers of the Holy Scriptures"" was written by James Robert Page in 1863. The book is a critique of the views of Bishop John William Colenso, who was a prominent critic of the Bible at the time. Bishop Colenso had published a series of works that challenged the accuracy and reliability of the Bible, particularly the Old Testament.In his book, Page argues against Colenso's claims and defends the traditional Christian view of the Bible as the inspired and infallible word of God. He examines Colenso's arguments in detail and provides counterarguments based on historical and theological evidence. Page also addresses some of the broader issues raised by Colenso's work, such as the relationship between faith and reason and the role of biblical criticism in the church.Overall, ""The Pretensions of Bishop Colenso"" is a significant work in the history of biblical criticism and Christian theology. It provides a detailed and well-reasoned defense of the Bible against one of its most prominent critics, and it remains a valuable resource for scholars and students of theology today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
