Lightfoot is a scholarly critique written in the late 19th century. This collection analyzes the arguments and criticisms presented in the anonymous book "Supernatural Religion," focusing primarily on its implications about the authenticity and historical significance of the New Testament Gospels. Lightfoot's essays aim to defend the credibility of early Christian writings while addressing various historical and theological claims made in "Supernatural Religion." The opening of this work serves as a preface, where the author outlines his motivations for compiling these essays. He expresses his initial reluctance to address the debates surrounding "Supernatural Religion" but was compelled to respond when a close friend was unjustly criticized therein. Lightfoot discusses the broader implications of the arguments found in "Supernatural Religion" and sets the stage for a detailed examination of its claims about the Gospel accounts and early Christian history. He hints at a systematic assessment of historical evidence, highlighting errors in the opposing arguments while stating his commitment to a fair and rigorous investigation into the foundations of Christian scripture.
