Synopsis

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to a wide range of subjects that will benefit those in higher education, and will prove most useful to young people in their senior years of school. Whether they are studying religion, literature, history, logic, mathematics, natural history, or the fine arts, this book will provide a firm foundation for further study. It includes a very useful chapter on logic, which is presented as an exercise, rather than a subject of abstruse terms and argumentative subtlety, and as such will be very accessible to readers of any age. The author insists upon the Christian religion as the very basis of all knowledge, a moral imperative as well as a fascinating subject in its own right. It is for the reader to decide whether they agree with the author on this. Certainly, the Christian religion has left an indelible mark on the history of civilization, from the arts and sciences to the structure of society itself, and for this reason if no other, merits study and analysis.
