About The Holy Bible A Lecture eBook Robert Green Ingersoll
Hey folks,One should remember this lecture dates back about 110 years. While English is my native language (and only language), It has always been something of a problem for me when reading something from earlier periods. The Declaration of Independence is not all that difficult for me to understand, but reading the Federalist Papers and other documents of our early nation is not always easy to understand. Given that I may have problems with documents from our revolutionary times, you can be certain that reading Shakespeare is truly punishment for me.
Ingersoll's words are over a century old, and his syntax is certainly a bit different than that I have learned over my lifetime, but I can pretty easily understand his words and thoughts as long as I read a little bit more slowly. My taking a little more time to read and understand his words is certainly worth the effort for me. In this lecture Ingersoll goes through the books of the Bible noting various things that are reported in the books and asks the reader if the things he notes are worthy of religious worship. As he notes a particular topic, it makes one open his Bible to read the particular passage to see if his point is well taken or not. Most of the time, Ingersoll's points are well taken. I can understand why this man was considered a scourge by many religious folks.
Ingersoll's writings are not faith based. He is quite clear when he repeatedly points out his words are thought based instead.
Best wishes,

About The Holy Bible A Lecture eBook Robert Green Ingersoll Reviews
I am happy with the product that I bought.
It is good to take accounts of religious beliefs and historical incidents in the context of when they were documented and their proposed audience.
It was interesting to read 21st century ideas in a 19th century text. Download this free book and enjoy it.
Don't read. It's just written by someone who hates jews and Christians.
Robert G. Ingersoll was, without question, one of the later part of the 19th century's most learned and outspoken scholars on the Christian Bible and finds very little in it that offers peace on earth for anyone else, not even the Jews, that are supposedly God's chosen people.
This short work from the 19th century agnostic Ingersoll was a little disappointing. Right away he starts talking about Moses making up a religion to control his followers, regardless of what someone's opinion of this is, there's no way to know of this is true, if you accept the bible then Moses was telling the truth, if you don't then Moses could have been mistaken or delusional but that's no indication he made up a religion. Most of the rest of the book continues in like manner, he spends a significant portion attacking some of the things Jehovah commanded the Israelites to do in the old testament. He expects the people of ancient Israel to have the same mindset as his and since they didn't they are a barbarous people (for example he goes on about Jehovah gave the Israelites no schools, no sciences, no arts, no commerce). Overall this polemic attacks the bible but doesn't do a great job of getting its point across, its much more of a book written for the atheist not as much to convince a believer of his errors (and there are far better books at accomplishing this). I hope his book on the mistakes of moses has a little more substance.
He did make a decent point about if Jesus was god incarnate he would know the future and if so why didn't he take more care to explain his words and help prevent all of the battles we've had over doctrine (such as actually explaining the trinity himself or clarifying his position on earth).
Perhaps our nation would not have elected (or at least been fooled into believing we had) the likes of such as G. W. Bush and Antonio Scalia. We would still be a leader in scientific exploration and invention, rather than the fading empire shackled with superstitions and ignorance.
