About This Book

A collection of religious essays that examine the interplay of faith and reason, balancing the simplicity of childlike trust with the perplexities that trouble thoughtful minds. The author addresses common objections to belief, surveys the peoples and history discussed in scripture, and marshals archaeological and geographical evidence from Palestine to corroborate biblical accounts. He offers responses to scoffers, reflections on the Jewish people, and a clear exposition of sacramental teaching. The pieces aim to reconcile historical and scientific findings with devotional conviction and to guide readers toward a settled, intelligent faith.
