Daniel in the Critic's Den
DANIEL IN THE CRITICS' DEN PREFACE and CONTENTS ALTHOUGH this volume appears under an old title, it is practically a new work.

The Honor of His Name
THE HONOUR OF HIS NAME Preface and First Chapter. THE title of this book - a quotation from the sixty-sixth Psalm - indicates not only its subject, but its aim and purpose.

The Lord From Heaven
THE LORD FROM HEAVEN PREFACE and CONTENTS Some years ago the Author was asked to mediate between the Committee of one of our Missionary Societies and certain of their younger agents, whose faith had been disturbed by Moslem hostility to the truth of the Sonship of Christ.

The Silence of God
THE SILENCE OF GOD PREFACE TO THE NINTH EDITION IN response to appeals from various quarters this book is once again reissued.

Types in Hebrews
TYPES IN HEBREWS CHAPTER 1 AUTHORSHIP THE authorship of Hebrews has been a subject of controversy during all the centuries. Was it written by the Apostle whose name it bears in our English Bibles.

A Doubter's Doubts About Science and Religion 1: How Did Life Begin?
THERE is one fact which not even the dreamiest of egoists can doubt, and that is, his own existence. Here at least knowledge is absolute. That I exist is certain; but how did I come to exist? I live; but how did life begin? The question is one to which every man is bound to find a reasonable answer.... Read More

A Doubter's Doubts About Science and Religion 2: The Darwinian Theory
"IT'S lovely to live on a raft. We had the sky up there all speckled with stars, and we used to lay on our backs and look up at them and discuss about whether they were made, or only just happened. Jim he allowed they was made, but I allowed they happened; I judged it would have took too long to mak... Read More

A Doubter's Doubts About Science and Religion 3: Herbert Spencer's Scheme
THE hypothesis of degeneration has been here suggested as a rival to that of evolution. It equally accounts for the facts, and is less beset with difficulties. Are we then to accept it? By no means. Both alike are mere theories, wholly unsupported by direct evidence; and therefore the sceptic will r... Read More

A Doubter's Doubts About Science and Religion 4: Have We A Revelation?
SCEPTICISM is "not a permanent resting-place for human reason." The knowledge that there is bad money in circulation does not make us fling our purse into the gutter, or refuse to replenish it when empty. The sceptic tries a coin before accepting it, but when once he puts it in his pocket, his appre... Read More

A Doubter's Doubts About Science and Religion 5: Is Christianity Divine?
Is Christianity a Divine revelation? This question must not be settled by the result of the preliminary inquiry here proposed. In rejecting sacerdotalism, we merely clear the ground for a discussion of the main question upon its merits. "The Reformation," says Mr. Goldwin Smith, "was a tremendous ea... Read More

A Doubter's Doubts About Science and Religion 6: Mr. A.J. Balfour's Scheme
"WE are without any rational ground for believing in science"; "We are without any rational ground for determining the logical relation which ought to subsist between science and religion." Such are among the startling theses maintained by the author of A Defence of Philosophic Doubt. And one of the... Read More

Sir Robert Anderson was born in Dublin, Ireland and was of Scottish descent. His father was an elder in the Irish Presbyterian Church and he was raised in a religious home. Anderson's conversion took place after listening to a sermon delivered by John Hall.
Sir Robert Anderson graduated from Trinity College, Dublin, in 1862 and was called to the Irish Bar in 1863. He later became Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police and Chief of the Criminal Investigation Department at Scotland Yard. When he retired in 1901, he was made Knight Commander of the the Order of the Bath. W. H. Smith, on the floor of the House of Commons, said Sir Robert "had discharged his duties with great ability and perfect faithfulness to the public."
Sir Robert Anderson was the chief inspector for Scotland Yard. He was greatly respected for his skill as an investigator. When Anderson wasn't writing on subjects related to crime, he wrote books on Christian prophecy. He helped establish the fact that 69 of Daniel's 70 weeks have now transpired, and that the tribulation will be the 70th week. Sir Robert Anderson's book, The Coming Prince, has become a foundational resource for all dispensationalists.
