(Michael Ferrebee) 1819 1895 Sadler, Michael Ferrebee The Lost Gospel and Its Contents Or, The Author of "Supernatural Religion" Refuted by Himself Produced by The Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Lost Gospel and Its Contents" by M. F. Sadler is a theological critique written in the late 19th century. This work specifically addresses the arguments posed by the author of "Supernatural Religion" who attempts to undermine the supernatural aspects of Christianity by questioning the authenticity of the New Testament Gospels. Sadler aims to refute these claims by analyzing early Church Fathers' writings, particularly focusing on Justin Martyr, to demonstrate that the core supernatural elements of Christianity have persisted throughout early Christian literature. The beginning of the text establishes the context of the author's arguments against "Supernatural Religion." In his preface, Sadler explains that the term "Lost Gospel" refers to an earlier form of Gospel that the opposing author claims is more authentic. Sadler argues that the failure of the latter to provide adequate evidence of such Gospels ultimately strengthens the case for the canonical texts. He elaborates on the purpose behind the "Supernatural Religion" text, detailing its extensive critiques of Christian doctrine, before embarking on a systematic examination of Justin Martyr's works to substantiate that the foundation of Christian supernatural claims remains intact. The opening lays the groundwork for a detailed defense of the New Testament's integrity and significance in early Christianity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
