Bridge of History Over the Gulf of Time: A Popular View of the Historical Evidence for the Truth of Christianity
'Bridge of History Over the Gulf of Time: A Popular View of the Historical Evidence for the Truth of Christianity' Summary
Thomas Cooper, a scholar who once questioned Christianity, undertook a deep study of its historical foundations, ultimately leading him to a strong belief in its truth. He penned "Bridge of History Over the Gulf of Time" to share the results of his research, presenting a robust defense of Christianity's historical validity. The book examines a vast span of history, charting the emergence and growth of Christianity, considering its impact on society and the world. Cooper systematically scrutinizes the historical claims of the Gospels, addressing criticisms and offering detailed justifications for their authenticity. Notably, he engages with the skeptical arguments of Dr. David Friedrich Strauss, who questioned the historical reliability of the Gospels in his seminal work "Leben Jesu." Through this comprehensive examination of historical evidence, Cooper aims to build a compelling case for the factual basis of Christianity, leading his readers to an understanding of its historical truth and enduring significance.Book Details
