"The Lost Faith, and Difficulties of the Bible, as Tested by the Laws of Evidence" by T. S. Childs, D.D. is a theological discourse published in the late 19th century, specifically in 1888. This book falls into the category of religious or philosophical literature and is targeted at individuals grappling with faith and the perceived inconsistencies within the Bible. It addresses the crises of belief plaguing many, especially those raised in Christianhouseholds yet confronting skepticism as they navigate the complexities of modern thought. In the book, Childs articulates deep concerns regarding the spiritual unrest prevalent among believers, especially in relation to growing doubts about the Bible's authority. Throughout his letters, he engages in a dialogue with a friend who is losing faith, emphasizing the necessity of returning to foundational Christian beliefs and the hope offered through faith in God and Christ. He defends the integrity of the Bible by applying principles of evidence and reasoning, arguing that its historical and spiritual truths have been substantiated over centuries. Utilizing examples of well-known figures and historical references, Childs argues that the stability afforded by faith stands in contrast to the uncertainties of atheism, ultimately calling readers to embrace a Christian worldview rooted in the assurance of God’s promises.
