| Summary | "Biblical Extracts; Or, The Holy Scriptures Analyzed" by Robert Cooper is a critical examination of the Bible, written in the late 19th century. This analytical work seeks to uncover what the author perceives as contradictions, moral issues, and absurdities within the text of the Holy Scriptures. Through his examination, Cooper appears intent on challenging the established religious doctrines and revealing what he argues is the manipulative influence of the Christian priesthood over society. The opening of the work presents a preface where Cooper emphasizes the importance of intellectual freedom in questioning established religious beliefs. He argues against the priesthood's influence, asserting that the Bible is a source of moral contradictions and absurdities that should not be accepted as divine truth. Through selected extracts, he intends to demonstrate that many biblical narratives are inappropriate and contain immoral teachings, ultimately concluding that the Bible cannot be considered a work of divine origin. This introduction sets the tone for a confrontational discourse against traditional religious views, inviting readers to engage with the material from a critical perspective.
