Apology to Truth on Christianity and Progress
A critique argues against the notion of Christian progress and human advancement in religion. It warns that elevating inept speakers harms truth and condemns modern claims of Christianity evolving beyond its apostolic age, urging adherence to biblical truth and caution toward infidel doctrine. The piece contrasts gradual revelation with supposed human improvement and notes military actions involving Russia, the Turkish camp, and Giurgevo.
