Synopsis

The Existence Of God by Origen Bacheler. The Existence Of God is a two-volume public dispute first published in 1833 that presents a sustained exchange between Origen Bacheler, late editor of the Anti-Universalist, and Robert Dale Owen, editor of the Free Enquirer, concerning The Existence Of God and the authenticity of the Bible. The work originated as a series of letters printed in the New-York Free Enquirer, and is a broad survey of arguments for and against belief, including evidences of God drawn from the order and design of the universe, the problem of evil, and the limits of human knowledge. It emphasizes free inquiry, presenting both sides in their own words with direct replies and counterarguments. Topics include accountability, free will, the unity and perfection of God, the nature of revelation, and the boundaries of reason. The text concludes with a synthesis of the ten evidences of divine existence and a discussion of how faith and reason interact in the 19th-century philosophical landscape.
