"A Reply to Dr. Lightfoot's Essays" by Walter R. Cassels is a late 19th-century response that clashes head-on with Dr. Lightfoot's essays, picking apart his reasoning for Christian beliefs and Gospel validity piece by piece. The book launches into a thorough breakdown of religious debates, with a magnifying glass on the tales of supposed miracles in Christianity, as Cassels sets the scene for an all-out battle of wits. Cassels slams Lightfoot's combative style, pointing out that his arguments dance around the main issue of hard proof for miracles and divine input, choosing to focus on tiny details of "Supernatural Religion" instead. Cassels also throws light on the past surrounding early Christian writings, claiming that Lightfoot's points can't stand up when seriously questioned over whether the scriptures are real or not.
