Christianity in relation to Freethought, Scepticism, and Faith Three discourses by the Bishop of Peterborough with special replies by Mr. C. Bradlaugh

"Christianity in relation to Freethought, Scepticism, and Faith" by William Connor Magee is a series of discussions that tackle the relationship between Christian beliefs and skeptical, independent thinking. At the heart of the book, the Bishop of Peterborough and prominent freethinker Charles Bradlaugh debate how faith, skepticism, and examining ideas freely intertwine. The book addresses the challenge that modern skepticism poses to traditional Christian ideas where the Bishop uses the tale of doubting Thomas from the Bible to discuss belief versus doubt, arguing that faith is needed even when uncertainties exist. In response, Bradlaugh challenges that skepticism is unreasonable and argues that faith should at least have evidence. Overall, the work sets up an important conversation from the 1800's about faith, religion and modern thought.
