Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Evidences of the Old Testament Four new writers contribute to this, the fifth volume of the Present Day Series, viz., Dr. J. Murray Mitchell, for many years engaged in missionary service in Bombay, who treats very fully and with ample knowledge, the sacred books and religious system of the Parsis, and contrasts this ancient faith with Christianity; Professor Godet, of Neufchatel, who conclusively proves that the Fourth Gospel was written by St. John, the beloved Apostle; Dr. Conder, who discusses the Origin of the Hebrew Religion, and shows from a survey of its characteristics, as exhibited in the Old Testament records, that it could not be a product of evolution, but must be supernatural and divine in its origin; and Mr. Iverach, who grapples with, and refutes in a most masterly way, the fundamental position of Mr. Herbert Spencer, the acknowledged Apostle of Agnosticism, and shows the utter unreasonableness of this widespread and most mischievous philosophy. An earlier Tract in the Series - Agnosticism: a Doctrine of Despair, by Dr. Noah Porter - showed in a very impressive manner the practical tendencies of the system as destructive of hope for science, for individual and social well-being and progress, and for the future. The one contained in this Volume exposes thoroughly the metaphysical errors and assumptions on which the whole fabric of Agnostic philosophy is reared.
