The Difficulties Of Infidelity. by Faber, George Stanley - 1829.

New York:: J. & J, Harper for D. Cooledge,, 1829.. 8vo.. Publisher's cloth-backed paper boards, title on paper-label, slightly chipped; some foxing. Faber, George Stanley. 1773-1854, controversialist and prolific author on anthropological and apocalyptic subjects. "His books on the primitive doctrines of election and justification retain some importance." [-DNB] This work is an examination of "The difficulties attendant upon deistical infidelity." Faber marshals primitive Christianity, the "false" religions of Mohammed, Odin, and a plethora of theological debates to prove that "the rejection of Christianity involves a higher degree of credulity than the acceptance of it.... [and] that it is more difficult to pronounce the gospel as an imposture than to admit it as a revelation from heaven." [-Feldman p.397] NSTC 2F432.
