Christianity Vindicated: In Seven Discourses on the External Evidences of the New Testament (1833)

Christianity Vindicated is a book written by John Henry Hopkins and published in 1833. The book is a collection of seven discourses that aim to provide evidence for the validity of the New Testament. Hopkins argues that Christianity is a rational and reasonable faith, and that the external evidences of the New Testament support its claims. The first discourse focuses on the historical reliability of the New Testament, while the second discusses the authenticity of the Gospels. The third discourse examines the miracles of Jesus as evidence of his divinity, and the fourth looks at the prophecies in the Old Testament that point to the coming of Christ. The fifth discourse explores the character of Jesus and his teachings, while the sixth looks at the spread of Christianity throughout the world. The final discourse is a response to objections against Christianity, including arguments against the resurrection of Jesus. Overall, Christianity Vindicated is a comprehensive defense of Christianity that seeks to provide evidence for its truth claims. Hopkins presents a well-reasoned and thoughtful argument that will be of interest to anyone seeking to understand the foundations of the Christian faith.With A Concluding Dissertation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
