Cambridge Free Thoughts and Letters on Bibliolatry (1862)

Cambridge Free Thoughts And Letters On Bibliolatry is a book written by the German philosopher and writer, Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, in 1862. The book is a collection of essays and letters that criticize the excessive veneration of the Bible, or bibliolatry, which was prevalent in the author's time. Lessing argues that the Bible should be read critically and skeptically, rather than blindly accepted as the literal word of God. He also critiques the idea that the Bible is the only source of moral and spiritual guidance, and suggests that other works of literature and philosophy can be just as valuable in this regard. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, and is intended for a general audience rather than a scholarly one. It is an important work in the history of religious and philosophical thought, and continues to be widely read and studied today.This Book Is In English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
