PREFACE
The main purpose which the author of this work has had in mind
throughout its writing is that from its perusal some of the present gen-
eration of young men， whose faith in God and in the Bible has been
shaken or destroyed， by the years spent in collegiate institutions and
universities where the Christian faith is under constant attack and
ridicule， and those who have come under the power of the spirit of
skepticism and irreligiousness of our present unbelieving age， might
be persuaded to Consider fairly， without prejudice， as they would any
subject offered in college， the evidences which support and confirm
the great elemental truths of the Christian faith， and find， in this recon-
sideration， or perhaps new consideration， a solid foundation on which
a real and abiding faith might be built. In the well-knownphraseology
of the Apostle Paul， this volume has been written for \"the defense and
confirmation of the faith.\" 1 The author believes that now， more than
ever， the facts of life， the facts of history， and the facts of science， are
not on the side of agnosticism and atheism， but on the side of Christian
truth， and that our faith is definitely not contradicted by [acts， but is
opposed only by the theories of men， whether they be theories of
philosophy， psychology， and sociology， or the hypotheses of science.
Young men today are selling their souls (and minds) too cheaply in
Forfeiting their holy God-given privilege of independent thinking， and
are too quickly and willingly yielding their minds to， and framing the
teeper convictions of life from， the teachings of skeptical professors，
md the rationalistic assertions of many of our leaders of thought， such
LS Bertrand Russell， John Dewey， H. G. Wells， Julian Huxley， etc. If
his volume shall but arouse some young men to the reinvestigation of
he/acts of the Christian faith， a faith which they have been told can
o longer be reasonably held， if this volume shall prove an incentive
~r men to emancipate themselves from the paralyzing consequences
I. Philippians x :7. \"The defence was made for establishment or confirmation，
ld resulted in it.\" Marvin R. Vincent， in loco.
