Bethune (George Bethune) The Grounds of Christianity Examined by Comparing The New Testament with the Old Produced by Charles Klingman "The Grounds of Christianity Examined by Comparing the New Testament with the Old" by George Bethune English is a historical and theological analysis written in the early 19th century. This work critically evaluates the claims of Christianity, particularly how the New Testament relates to Old Testament prophecies regarding the Messiah. The author embarks on an examination of the arguments presented by early Christian writers and apologists, aiming to determine whether the character of Jesus of Nazareth aligns with the messianic predictions provided by the Hebrew prophets. The opening portion of the text sets the stage for an intellectual exploration of Christianity's foundations, emphasizing the importance of understanding and validating religious beliefs through reasoned examination. In the preface, English articulates the necessity for open discourse about sacred doctrines, arguing that truth will ultimately prevail through rigorous scrutiny rather than through blind acceptance. He introduces the central thesis that the Messiah’s attributes—foretold in the Old Testament—must align with Jesus to substantiate Christian claims. The opening chapters outline the argumentative structure, where English intends to offer a thorough analysis of both the New Testament's assertions about Jesus and the Old Testament prophecies that purportedly support those claims.
