Excerpt from Reason and Redemption: Or the Gospel as It Attests Itself I have only had time to read nine chapters of Rev. Dr. White's manuscript volume on "Reason and Redemption, or the Gospel as it Attests Itself." These chapters were selected somewhat at random, and yet not without some regard to the chain of argument and the unity of purpose as proposed in the author's Introduction. The style strikes me as fresh, easy, and simple, and yet strong and direct, free from heavy technicalities or unnecessary use of professional phrases, and rising sometimes to the sublime and eloquent in argument. While there is nothing, I believe, local or sectional or denominational in its terms, sentiments, or theological views, - for Dr. White is a truly catholic evangelical, contending only for the "faith once delivered to the saints, " - yet such is his position, and such are his antecedents and his reputation, that this volume, we may confidently expect, will meet with an extensive circulation, and, wherever it is read, we are persuaded it cannot fail to do good. The forms of modern unbelief, which are both widespread and exceedingly dangerous, are in many respects widely different from the unbelief of past ages. In many points they are peculiar, and differ from, and are yet more subtle and plausible than, the forms of unbelief that have prevailed for the last three hundred years, or, indeed, at any time since the death of Christ. A general resemblance may, indeed, be traced through them all from age to age, but each age has its peculiarities. In our day great modesty is professed, while the most daring presumption is on the lips. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
