Synopsis

Scripture Notices And Proofs by Clement Carlyon is a polemical religious treatise defending the authenticity and authority of the Bible. Written by a lay Anglican scholar (M.D., Fellow of Pembroke College, Cambridge), it argues that the Bible's truth rests on four invincible marks: outward credibility, eyewitness testimony, public monuments, and early authorship. The work surveys the Bible's claims, contrasts them with the Quran in chapters on The Bible and The Koran, and discusses doctrines such as predestination and moral responsibility. It uses exempla from Esther, the Sibylline Books, and the prophecies of Horsley and Drew to illustrate the superiority of revealed religion over natural religion. Carlyon defends the Church of England, its Prayer Book, and the Athanasian Creed, and denounces fatalism in the Koran. Throughout, the volume argues that revelation, prophecy, and ecclesiastical authority sustain true religion against secular philosophy and rival prophets. He advocates conversion as a sober, responsible renewal of faith, cautions against Enthusiasm, and promotes measured church authority.
