A Dialogue Between a Presbyterian and a Friend

by Archibald Alexander

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

[Christian · Rating 2 out of 5]

He sets up the Quaker the way Plato set up Euthyphro in the Dialogues, or as Carl Sagan sets the faithful against the skeptic in Contact, serving as a useful counterpoint to argue against. Some might say strawman but I think that's too strong. It's fine, just as long as we know the purpose is the counterargument.
