Supernatural Religion (Vol. 1-3) (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. An Inquiry Into the Reality of Divine Revelation (Complete Edition)By Walter Richard Cassels
Length42h 53m
About this audiobook
Supernatural Religion (Vols. 1–3) is a major Victorian inquiry into the historical foundations of Christianity, especially the credibility of miracles and the evidentiary status of the New Testament. Written in a rigorous, polemical prose shaped by nineteenth-century rationalism and German higher criticism, it examines patristic testimony, Gospel origins, and apostolic claims with forensic persistence. Its literary context is the age of Darwin, Strauss, and Renan, when traditional apologetics met increasingly historical methods of biblical criticism. Walter Richard Cassels, who first published the work anonymously, was a cultivated British man of letters rather than a clerical insider, a position that helped give the book its independent and controversial force. His intellectual formation in the skeptical, comparative, and philological currents of the period encouraged him to treat revelation not as inherited certainty but as a historical proposition requiring public evidence. This work is recommended to readers interested in Victorian religious doubt, the history of biblical criticism, and the intellectual pressures that reshaped modern theology. Though demanding and combative, it remains indispensable for understanding how questions of miracle, testimony, and historical method entered modern debates about Christian origins.
