The Pleiad: A Series of Abridgements from Seven Distinguished Writers on the Evidences of Christianity (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Pleiad: A Series of Abridgements From Seven Distinguished Writers on the Evidences of Christianity

Dsrs'rs may be divided, principally, into two classes. They are either such as, taking it for granted that Christianity has been proved to be an imposition, reject it at a venture or at most, ac quiesce in some slight objections, and, contenting themselves with general clamours against priest craft and imposture, never think of examining the evidences and nature of the religion itself; or, they are such as pretend to reject Christianity, be cause, after what they deem due examination, they conceive that they have discovered in it marks of falsehood. There is ground to apprehend, that the greater part of our modern Deists are of the former description. But few are willing to own, that this is their case. Whether they have really made a free and diligent inquiry, or not, they would be thought to have done so, and not to have rejected the Christian revelation without good reasons.
