The Wave of Scepticism and the Rock of Truth

The late 19th century saw European intellectual life swept by waves of German higher criticism, questioning the very foundations of Christian faith. Habershon's work stands as a vigorous response to this upheaval - a carefully argued defense of the Gospels' historical credibility and the reality of miracles. Written originally as an essay for a Young Men's Society, it expanded into a comprehensive rebuttal of the anti-Christian narratives gaining traction in educated circles. The author confronts skepticism not with blind faith but with historical evidence and logical analysis, addressing the very doubts that troubled thoughtful believers of his era. For readers interested in the history of religious thought, or for those grappling with the eternal question of faith and reason, this work offers a window into how one Victorian Christian met the challenges of his age.
