The Fair Haven the Fair Haven

The Fair Haven is a book written by Samuel Butler, first published in 1873. It is a satirical and philosophical work that challenges the traditional Christian beliefs and explores the possibility of a more rational and scientific approach to religion. The book follows the journey of Ernest Pontifex, a young man who rejects the traditional Christian teachings and embarks on a quest for truth and meaning. He encounters various characters who challenge his beliefs and offer different perspectives on religion. Through his experiences, Ernest ultimately comes to the conclusion that there is no definitive answer to the question of God's existence and that each individual must find their own way to spiritual fulfillment. The Fair Haven is a thought-provoking and witty critique of organized religion and a call for individuals to think for themselves and question their beliefs.This particular design may appear sometimes, but not always, nor often. Thus I think that the particular design which St. Matthew had in view whilst he was writing the history of the Resurrection, was to attest the faithful performance of Christ's promise to his disciples to go before them into Galilee; because he alone, except Mark, who seems to have taken it from him, has recorded this promise, and he alone has confined his narrative to that single appearance to the disciples which fulfilled it. It was the preconcerted, the great and most public manifestation of our Lord's person.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
