• Author: Edgar Young Mullins
• Publisher: Christian Culture Press
• Publication Date: 1905
• Pages: 461

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Edgar Young Mullins penned Why Is Christianity True? with the aim of providing a thorough argument for the validity of the Bible and of Jesus Christ. Although there are many books with such a goal by many different theologians, Mullins had two specific hopes when writing this particular resource: elimination of technical jargon in order to aid comprehension by all who read it, and to present the whole doctrine of Christianity instead of focusing only on certain aspects. This book is an excellent resource for anybody wishing to gain clarity of thought regarding the specifics of the truth behind Christianity.

The Axioms of Religion
