About This Book

A systematic, skeptical analysis of claims of divine revelation that examines alleged miracles, their relation to natural law, and the role of ignorance and superstition. The author surveys early Christian literature — synoptic traditions, the fourth gospel, Acts, the Pauline epistles, and various patristic and heterodox writings — to assess authorship, dating, composition, and external testimony. Attention is given to the evidence for resurrection and ascension, methodological questions about historical reasoning, and how miraculous narratives developed and persisted within early Christian communities.

About the Author

Walter Richard Cassels

Walter Richard Cassels was a 19th-century author and theologian known for his critical examination of religious texts and beliefs. He is best recognized for his work "Supernatural Religion," a three-volume inquiry into the historical and textual foundations of Christianity, which challenged traditional views on divine revelation. In addition to his theological writings, Cassels also expressed his literary talents through poetry, as seen in his collection "Eidolon; or, The Course of a Soul; and Other Poems." His contributions to religious discourse and literature reflect a deep engagement with the complexities of faith and reason during a transformative period in religious thought.
