ABSTRACT

Our author introduces his general observations on the Bible, by endeavouring to prejudice the unwary in favour of his objections, by assuring them, “That although the boldness of his investigations would alarm many, yet it would be paying too great a compliment to credulity, to forbear them on that account—that the times and the subject demand it to be done—that the suspicion, that the theory of what is called the Christian church is fabulous, is becoming very extensive in all countries; and that it will be a consolation to such persons, to see the subject freely investigated.”
