A Series of Letters, in Defence of Divine Revelation In Reply to Rev. Abner Kneeland's Serious Inquiry into the Authenticity of the Same. To Which is Added, a Religious Correspondence, Between the Rev. Hosea Ballou, and the Rev. Dr. Joseph Buckminster and Rev. Joseph Walton, Pastors of Congregational Churches in Portsmouth, N. H.

"A Series of Letters, in Defence of Divine Revelation" by Hosea Ballou is a compilation of early 19th-century letters that discuss if divine revelation, as written in the Bible, is real. The main part of the book details a conversation between Ballou and Rev. Abner Kneeland, who doubts that the stories and moral lessons of the scriptures are true. With philosophical arguments about truth and knowledge, Ballou tries to protect Christian beliefs and show why divine revelation matters. Kneeland starts by saying he doesn't believe the scriptures are real and questions why God would only deliver his messages to certain people at certain times. Ballou agrees that Kneeland has a point but stresses that the Bible is still very important and shares the importance of morals. He then defends why revelations should be believed when it comes to moral and spiritual understanding. The initial letters are about a disagreement on faith, logic, and how God speaks to people and this sets the stage for their talks.
