Produced by David Ross and Freethought Archives "A Reply to Dr. Lightfoot's Essays" by Walter R. Cassels is a critical rebuttal written in the late 19th century. In this work, the author engages with the writings of Dr. Lightfoot, addressing the defense of Christian orthodoxy and the authenticity of the Gospels presented in Lightfoot's essays. The book provides a detailed analysis of various theological arguments, particularly focusing on the narratives surrounding supposed miraculous events in Christianity. The opening of the text sets the stage for a vigorous intellectual confrontation as Cassels acknowledges Lightfoot's recovery and his decision to republish his essays. Cassels critiques the adversarial tone of Lightfoot's defenses, arguing that they lack substantive engagement with the primary thesis of his earlier work, "Supernatural Religion." He emphasizes that Lightfoot's critiques often hinge on minor details rather than addressing the fundamental question of evidence for miracles and divine revelation. Additionally, Cassels presents an overview of the historical context surrounding early Christian writings, asserting that Lightfoot's arguments do not hold up against the scrutiny of more critical perspectives on scriptural authenticity.
