Presented as the posthumous work of John Pickard Owen, with a memoir by his brother, this book claims to defend the miraculous element of Christianity against Strauss and the rationalist critics. Butler’s irony runs underneath every page: in conceding each difficulty honestly, the pious author dismantles the case for the Resurrection he believes he is proving.
A brilliant, slippery satire by the author of Erewhon and The Way of All Flesh, for readers who enjoy theology argued with a straight face. Download the free EPUB.
