Excerpt from Christian Records: An Historical Enquiry Concerning the Age, Authorship, and Authenticity of the New Testament
To deny that the truth of Christianity, the facts upon which it is built, and the doctrines which it inculcates, are Of the utmost importance to our best interests, and require to be most carefully examined, would better suit the days of intolerance on the One hand and of blind belief on the other, than the times in which we live. For the Christian religion not only sets forth a peculiar morality little insisted upon, though not wholly unknown, among the ancient nations of the world, but propounds also a variety of Speculative or scholastic doctrines, scarcely intelligible to the people - or even to a large number of their teachers - as the princi ples upon which it professes to base its moral code and, thirdly, recites a series of historical facts, on which both the moral and doctrinal codes are founded. The points Of enquiry, then, to all who would study Christianity with minuteness, are three: 1. Its moral or practical character, 2. Its doctrines or speculative aspect, and, 3. Its historical evidence.
