A rigorous, multi-volume defense of Christian faith grounded in philosophy, history, and practical impact.
This first volume lays the foundation for a comprehensive system of apologetics. It presents Christianity as a rational, supernatural religion and explains how its defense can be organized into philosophical, historical, and practical questions. The author argues for a scientific, orderly treatment that binds belief to a coherent worldview and to the redemptive work of God through Christ and the Spirit.
The book outlines the plan for three volumes, with this first part focusing on Fundamental or Philosophical Apologetics. It explains how Christian claims are rooted in philosophy, experience, and the nature of knowledge, and it situates apologetics within the broader task of defending the truth of Christianity for English-speaking readers.
Ideal for readers of philosophy of religion, theology students, and anyone seeking a thorough, organized case for Christian faith.

Excerpt from Apologetics, Vol. 1 of 3: Or the Rational Vindication of Christianity
The fact just stated provides, in part at least, a reason for the publication of another treatise upon a subject whose literature is already extensive and valuable. At the same time, another word of justification for sending forth a treatise like this may be uttered. It can hardly be said that we have in our own English tongue a work which fully covers the whole wide field of Apologetics. We have such? treatises from German sources, but these, even when well translated, do not suitably meet the needs of the average English-speaking student. In addition, while we have from the pens of English writers very many most excellent treatises on natural theology, theism, the philosophy of religion, and the evidences of Christianity, there is not, so far as we are aware, a single comprehensive treatise from such a source, which binds the entire defence and vindication of Christianity into a well-organized whole, so as thereby to present what may be properly called a scientific system of Apologetics. This treatise ventures to supply this need, but with what success the reader must be the final judge.
The general plan and view-point of the treatise may lie merely indicated. It proposes to organize, according to the inner nature of Christianity, as the only truly redemptive religion, the whole materials of its defence and vindication. It makes an attempt to exhibit, in a somewhat scientific way, a complete apologetic for the Christian system, drawn from its inner nature, as the only redeeming religion.
As thus regarded, Christianity may be construed in three well-defined relations.
