Inhaltsangabe
This book explores the nature of reason and its role in our understanding of God. The author contrasts the views of those who believe that reason should dictate our understanding of religion with those who believe that faith is paramount. The author argues that both reason and faith are necessary for a complete understanding of God, and that true Christian faith is not blind obedience but is based on a rational understanding of God's nature and ways. The author explores the faith of Abraham as an example of true Christian faith, and argues that Abraham's willingness to obey God's commands, even when they seemed unreasonable, was the result of a deep and abiding faith in God's goodness. The author also discusses the nature of Jesus Christ as the ultimate expression of God's love and mercy, and argues that true Christian faith is based on a personal relationship with Christ.

Excerpt from The Complete Works of the Late Rev. Philip Skelton, Rector of Fintona, &C. &C, Vol. 3 of 6: To Which Is Prefixed, Burdy's Life of the Author
The latter as boldly insist, that when God speaks the common language of men, he means to be understood by all men; and that reason knows' no principle, no truth, more to be depended on, especially in things above reason, than the word of God.
Which of these are in the right, will best appear by a fact exactly in point. This will be found in the' instance of Abraham's faith, and the approbation of God, repeatedly given to that faith.
What that faith was, I shall, in the first place, shew from the Scriptures relating thereto.
Secondly, I shall shew, why it was counted to him for righteousness, that is, highly approved by God, as an act of saving virtue, having first laid before you the true meaning, or sense, wherein the' word righteousness is here to be taken.

The former boldly maintain, God could never require this of us, because it is, in their Opinion, destroying the na ture he hath given us, is extinguishing his candle in the soul, and' leaving us exposed 'to. All manner of errors afterward; for what is there, but reason, to distinguish them from truth?
