Author: FOSTER (James):
Title: The Usefulness, Truth, and Excellency of the Christian Revelation defended Against the Objections contain'd in a late Book, intitled, Christianity as old as the Creation, &c.
Description: London: Printed for J. Noon..., 1731. FIRST EDITION. 8vo, pp. viii, 356, contemporary calf, cover borders ruled in bland, raised bands between gilt rules; lower front joint slightly cracked, top and base of spine very slightly chipped, corners slightly worn, but a very good copy. Foster's "answer" to Tindal's book was one of the best and most famous of the many attacks and replies that Christianity as Old as the Creation attracted; but in many ways Foster's argument is very close to Tindal's and accepts many deistic principles.
