Excerpt from The Apology of the Christian Religion: Historically Regarded With Reference to Supernatural Revelation and Redemption In the plan of this work there was a First Book of Introduction, giving somewhat elaborate prolegomena with reference to the primitive Apologetic, the modem Apologetic, the relative practice and precepts of Christ, the relative practice and precepts of the apostles, the canon of Scripture, inspiration, and the nature of the internal evidence. That First Book has given place to the present Introductory Survey. The author never was a professional teacher of Apologetics, nor specially addicted to the study of it. The present work does not aim at an exhaustive systematic exhibition of "evidences." It is essentially what might be described as a layman's book, giving a view of the matter which grew into the author's mind in a life's labour otherwise directed. The MS. was at the (northern) Antipodes at the time when the author was writing an Introduction to Exodus, which to some extent covers a ground that was previously occupied by the present work. There thus may have been in that Introduction an amount and kind of coincidence which would have been censurable if the author had had it in his power to compare it with the MS. He made the Introduction as good as he could, disregarding possibility of coincidence, and relying for condonation, if needed, on the well approved kindness of the editors and publisher of the (Exodus) Handbook.
