Difficulties in the Bible: Alleged Errors and Contradictions

作者 R. A. Torrey

出版社:

, 1998

Overview

This book is R. A. Torrey’s classic look at some of the best known Bible difficulties. Torrey does not attempt to take up in detail every conceivable difficulty that could be found in the Bible. It would take many volumes to do that. Rather, he simply takes up those objections, two dozen in all, of which the modern unbeliever makes the most, and which are most puzzling to many Christians. These explanations have been of help to many over a period of several decades.
