The New Testament claims to itself the exclusive prerogative of conducting the children of men to eternal blessedness. Such as refuse its divine authority, it charges with the heinous crime of shutting the door of mercy against themselves, and drawing down destruction upon their own heads. But those who submit to its guidance, it promises to introduce to the friendship of God, to the purity and pleasures of the Christian life, and to eternal felicity in a future state. Whether these claims can be substantiated or not, is the point at issue. The writer of this book believed they can be substantiated. Indeed, if the evidence be maturely weighed, it will be found to be ample and sufficient to give the fullest satisfaction to every candid and serious inquirer.
