| Summary | "Letter to the Reverend Mr. Cary" by George Bethune English is a theological treatise written in the early 19th century. This book engages in a critical examination of Christianity in response to sermons delivered by Reverend Mr. Channing regarding infidelity. English aims to scrutinize the arguments presented for Christianity while advocating for a respectful and serious inquiry into its claims. In this letter, English respectfully challenges and critiques specific points made by Channing in his sermons. He emphasizes the importance of examining Christianity based on logical reasoning rather than sentimentality or ridicule. English argues that mere wit and mockery are not sound foundations for refuting religious beliefs. He also raises questions about the credibility of the New Testament and the authenticity of the Gospels, suggesting that many of the claims surrounding Jesus's life and mission lack solid evidence. He contends that Christianity must withstand rigorous examination as a potential divine revelation, encouraging readers to determine the truth of its teachings through respectful inquiry rather than blind faith.
