The Safest Creed

The Safest Creed: And Twelve Other Recent Discourses Of Reason is a book written by Octavius Brooks Frothingham and published in 1874. The book consists of a collection of 13 discourses that explore various topics related to religion, philosophy, and morality. The title of the book refers to the first discourse, which presents the idea that the safest creed is one that is based on reason rather than blind faith. Frothingham argues that a creed that is grounded in reason and evidence is more likely to lead to a fulfilling and meaningful life than one that is based solely on tradition or dogma.The other discourses in the book cover a wide range of topics, including the nature of God, the problem of evil, the role of religion in society, and the importance of individual freedom and responsibility. Frothingham draws on a variety of sources, including classical philosophy, modern science, and his own personal experiences, to explore these themes.Overall, The Safest Creed: And Twelve Other Recent Discourses Of Reason is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a fresh perspective on some of the most important questions of human existence.
