An Appeal To The Serious And Candid Professors Of Christianity (1827)

An Appeal To The Serious And Candid Professors Of Christianity, published in 1827, is a book written by Joseph Priestley. The book is a call to action for Christians to re-examine their beliefs and practices in light of reason and evidence. Priestley argues that many of the traditional doctrines and practices of Christianity are based on superstition and ignorance, rather than sound reasoning and evidence. He calls on his fellow Christians to embrace a more rational and scientific approach to religion, one that is grounded in the principles of the Enlightenment. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of Christian belief and practice. Priestley discusses topics such as the nature of God, the divinity of Christ, the authority of the Bible, and the role of reason in religion. Throughout the book, he emphasizes the importance of using reason and evidence to arrive at a true understanding of God and his will. An Appeal To The Serious And Candid Professors Of Christianity is a thought-provoking and challenging book that continues to be relevant to modern-day discussions about the role of religion in society.On The Following Subjects, Viz., The Use Of Reason In Matters Of Religion, The Power Of Man To Do The Will Of God; Original Sin; Election And Reprobation, The Dignity Of Christ; And Atonement For Sin By The Death Of Christ.
