In this book, Richard Watson offers a passionate defense of the Christian faith against the attacks of Edward Gibbon, author of the famous book The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Watson argues that Christianity has played a crucial role in the moral and intellectual progress of humanity and that its teachings are based on reason and evidence. His arguments are eloquent and convincing, and his book remains a classic of Christian apologetics to this day. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of religion and the ongoing debate between faith and reason.
