Evidence Of Christianity, Derived From Its Nature And Reception by John Bird Sumner. This work, in a new edition revised to meet recent objections, defends the Christian faith by arguing that its truth lies in the internal nature of the Gospel, its consistency with Jewish history and Scripture, and the corroborating testimony of its early reception. Sumner surveys origin, opposition by Jews, originality of doctrines, the phrasing of Christian scriptures, and the alignment of Christian experience with prophecy and miracle. He contends that the Gospel’s claims are best established by a network of historical facts, typologies, and parables, and that the Christian character and moral influence—humility, benevolence, and self-denial—are natural fruits of a divinely revealed truth. The work closes with a reasoned case for the atonement through Christ, the universality of its invitation, and the enduring moral effects of Christianity on individuals and societies. Appendices address questions of inspiration and apostolic testimony. The author, John Bird Sumner, was known as the Archbishop of Canterbury.
