The Eclipse Of Faith Or A Visit To A Religious Skeptic (1861)

By Henry Rogers

The Eclipse of Faith, also known as A Visit to a Religious Skeptic, is a book written by Henry Rogers and published in 1861. The book is a philosophical and theological inquiry into the nature of faith and religious belief. The author sets out to explore the reasons why people believe or do not believe in God, and the implications of these beliefs for human life and society. The book takes the form of a dialogue between the author and a fictional skeptic named Ernest, who has lost his faith in Christianity. Through their conversations, Rogers examines the various arguments for and against religious belief, including the problem of evil, the nature of miracles, and the reliability of the Bible. In addition to addressing these philosophical and theological issues, Rogers also explores the psychological and social factors that shape our beliefs. He argues that our beliefs are often influenced by our emotions, our upbringing, and our cultural context. Overall, The Eclipse of Faith is a thought-provoking and wide-ranging exploration of the nature of faith and religious belief. It remains a significant work in the history of philosophy and theology, and continues to be read and debated by scholars and laypeople alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
