Jurther Acquaintance with the Christian Dispensation ?; in a series of Lectures to young Persons . By Samuel Parker . Vidler , $ s . ' Bvery intelligent Christian knows that the BibFe has been
objected to by unbelievers , and therefore the objections are deserving of consideration * Hence writers , in defence of Reveler tion , have employed their talents for this purpose * and particularly the judicious Leland , in his View of the Deistical Writers , has satisfactorily refuted the several positions which
Iiave been urged with so much confidence in favour of infidelity * Mr * Parker therefore has performed a meritorious service in bringing : forward these objections with their replies ; but we
could haye wished that the replies had ~ been more full and decisive ; and we regret 5 that after having given the hypotheses of
the learned for the solution of difficulties * he leaves the young reader in a kind of wilderness - ( 9 of answers creditable indeed to
the compiler ' s reading and industry ) , whence he may , from vsrstnt of previous information and experience , find his way out with difficulty , and in some cases with little satisfaction . H&y- * ing stated the objections at ; some length , it would have been better had Mr . P . like a judge in a court of judicature ,
summtd up the substance of the evidence in favour of revelation ^ and thus he could not have failed , from the quantum of prepon ^ . derating evidence ^ to leave a strong impression on the youngs and tender heart . We however thank the compiler for vvh ^ t he * lias done , and we doubt not our friendly hints will in a second
edition receive proper attention . With respect to the contents of the volume ,, they $ re arranged
under twenty-one lectures , and in the Appendix are some additional Reflections on ^ the Fal l , Abraham's offering up his Son , and on the Witch of Endor and Samuel ' s Appearance . The work executed after the mode above suggested would , however valuable in its . present state , be greatly improved ; and we heartily wish well to this and every other publication whiah - v tends thus to arrest the progress of infidelity .
