About This Book

The author replies to an anonymous tract that urged churchmen to refuse support for the British and Foreign Bible Society, offering a measured rebuttal grounded in documentary evidence. He frames his response by rejecting invective and pledging to state facts, then addresses three objections: that an older church-only charity already fills the purpose; that the Bible Society fails to live up to its professed practices; and that it harms the established church. He challenges assumptions about uniform interpretation among churchmen, explains pricing and distribution choices as aimed at widest practical circulation, and defends the Society's inclusive methods while cautioning against harsh language.
