About This Book
The pamphlet opens with a satirical dedicatory epistle to church leaders and proceeds as a catalog of pointed objections to scriptural accounts, organized as numbered queries. It questions the credibility and purpose of biblical miracles, examines claims of multiple authorship and anachronisms within canonical books, and highlights moral and violent passages that seem at odds with divine attributes. The tone blends ironic commentary on legal and ecclesiastical power with sober rational critique, pressing religious authorities to confront apparent inconsistencies and to offer a reasoned defence of revealed religion rather than relying on coercive enforcement.
