This passionate and polemical work by Henry Bennet Brewster challenges some of the orthodoxies and dogmas of Christian theology. Part I of the book examines some of the 'unscriptural' beliefs and practices of orthodoxy, and exposes what Brewster sees as their inconsistencies and contradictions. The work as a whole is an impassioned plea for a rational and enlightened Christian faith, free from the dogmatism and authoritarianism that have too often marred its history. This book will appeal to anyone interested in the history of Christian thought and theology, as well as to those concerned with questions of reason, faith, and authority.
