520 1 $a"What would make a nineteenth-century Harvard Divinity School graduate turn his back on his deeply held religious beliefs and write an incisive attack on Christianity?" "An obscure sixteenth-century polemic called the Chizzuk Emunah, written by a scholar from a heretical Jewish group, forever changed George Bethune English's life. Formerly a Congregationalist minister. Bethune English had rejected challenges to his faith until he discovered Rabbi Isaac ben Abraham of Troki's book, which led him to write: "Either the Old Testament contains a Revelation from God, or it does not." From this he concluded that if the Old Testament was true, Christians were distorting the divine revelation. If it was false, then there was no basis for their faith." "Historian and philosopher Richard H. Popkin provides a commentary that notes many points of historical interest and demonstrates the significance of Bethune English's analysis of the Chizzuk Emunah. Those interested in the philosophy of religion or the history of dialogue between Christians and Jews will find this work indispensable."--BOOK JACKET.
