The Truth of Christianity

'The arguments are admirably marshalled; difficulties are not evaded, but met fairly.'--Westminster Review, August, 1905.

'We welcome a new edition.... The appeal of the book is evidently one to common sense, and the success it has met is fully deserved. There is a healthy lay atmosphere about Colonel Turton's arguments which renders them, we fancy, peculiarly effective.'--Pall Mall Gazette, March 11, 1907.

'It is difficult to know whether to admire most the logical precision with which he marshals his facts, and enforces his conclusions, or the charming candour, and freshness of style, which make his book so readable.'--Liverpool Daily Post, March 14, 1907.

'This is a new edition, thoroughly revised, of LIEUTENANT-COLONEL TURTON'S famous book.... We are specially struck with the detached manner in which he examines the case; he holds the scales evenly, and is not rhetorical. Anyone who has any power of reasoning at all can follow him clearly from start to finish.'--Bristol Times and Mirror, February 18, 1907.

'It is a book for the hour, and needs to be circulated by thousands ... straightforward, manly, and convincing.'--Schoolmaster, March 27, 1909.

=Church of England.=

'The book is of considerable value to everyone who is concerned with the controversy on Christian Evidences; it presents a perfect storehouse of facts and the conclusions which may be legitimately drawn from them.'--Church Times, November 2, 1900.

'We have already expressed our high opinion of this work--the author of which, it may be mentioned, is serving in South Africa.'--Guardian, October 17, 1900.

'This thoughtful and convincing treatise.... We are glad to be able to give our good word for the book, which should be found in the catalogue of every public library in the kingdom. It is a volume admirably suited for a gift-book to young men. It furnishes an armoury of invincible weapons against the scepticism and semi-scepticism which are rampant among us.'--English Churchman, November 1, 1900.

'This very excellent volume.... We strongly recommend this book to the clergy for their own use and for lending to thoughtful and painstaking readers.'--Church Union Gazette, January, 1901.

'It is one of the best books of its class, readable, candid, convincing, and thorough. It would be cheering news to hear that it had been widely read. The book will continue to make its way; and all Christians will rejoice that it should do so.'--Church Intelligencer, October, 1905.

'We give a hearty welcome to this revised edition. It is admirably suited for general use.'--Churchman, February, 1909.

'This is a textbook on Christian Evidence we would readily place in the hands of the lay worker as an essential part of his equipment.'--Lay Reader, December, 1912.

'There is no padding, and no unnecessary rhetoric. All the available space is filled with good solid reasoning, put in simple language which an intelligent artisan can follow as easily as an educated person.'--Church Family Newspaper, October 3, 1902.

'Throughout the book the reader will be delighted with the sanity and level-headedness of the writer, whose frequent appeals to common sense are remarkably telling and effective.'--Birmingham Diocesan Magazine, October, 1907.

'The brilliancy of the author does not consist in his rhetoric or appeal, but in the really brilliant fairness which he displays towards the other side, in the accuracy with which he analyses each situation, and in the clear and simple arguments which he adduces.'--Church Standard, January, 1906.

'Personally, we have never met with any book which can be more confidently recommended.'--Church Army Review, December, 1912.
