'Arrows of Freethought' Summary
It is a collection of essays by George William Foote, a British secularist and journalist. The book was first published in 1882 and contains essays on a variety of topics related to freethought, including the history of Christianity, the Bible, and the nature of God.

"Arrows of Freethought" is a classic work of freethought literature, and it is still relevant today.
