About this book
A fact can be certain to one person and seem unlikely to another. Martin Farquhar Tupper builds his defence of Christian faith around that difference, arguing that knowledge and reasoning can make unfamiliar claims appear probable. His opening illustrations include an iron ball found inside an oak, a geologist anticipating buried animal bones, and a merchant trying to understand how water can become ice.
The treatise applies this approach to God's attributes, the origin of evil, biblical figures, and the Bible itself. Its account of the Flood considers divine judgment alongside a proposed natural cause: a comet influencing the seas. Tupper presents these arguments as suggestions that might help people with religious doubts. The book offers readers interested in philosophy and religion a sustained example of theological reasoning through comparisons with history and the natural world.
