Description:Excerpt from Is the Bible True?: Familiar Dialogues Between, James White and Edward Owen, Concerning Bishop Colenso and the Pentateuch, and the Testimony of Geology to the BibleOwen. Well, I am rather glad to hear you say so; for, in truth, it had somewhat startled me. You know that, Since our conversations on the Essays and Reviews, I have only gradually reco vered, in some degree, my footing; but this book, insisting so strongly on the absolute untruth of all the first five books of the Bible, not only appalled, but did, in some measure, Shake me. I saw that either its writer was altogether in error, or else the Bible must be given up. And, as I said in the first conversation we had, if we have no Bible, to be relied upon and believed, I do not see how we can have any Christianity.White. You were not deceived, then, by the bishop's assurances, that Christianity could do very well without the Bible?Owen. Why, no; I had long since made up my mind, that if we have not a Christianity resting on written documents, we have none at all. The idea of a message from God as Bishop Colenso deems the Bible - large portions of which are absolutely untrue, seems to me to be profane as well as absurd. That God's Holy Spirit Should have inspired holy men of old to write a parcel of incredible fables, Surely is a most preposterous as well as a most irreverent thought.White. On that point we are quite agreed. But what, then, has perplexed you, in the bishop's volume?Owen. Oh! You know that he has selected about a dozen cases, in the five books of Moses, to which, he' says, it is impossible for any man, seriously considering the statements made, to give credence. He therefore concludes that these books are unhistoric; by which he means, untrue.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
