1620 SATIRES Menippean Catholic LEAGUE Spain France Religion War Lipsius Rigault

'Quatuor clariss. virorum satyrae' is a rather unknown and obscure book of satires by Justus Lipsius and Nicolas Rigault, and while both names are given on the title page, neither is particularly known for political satire. This work is ultimately based on the 'Satire Menippee' – a political work of prose and satire which criticized the Catholic League and Spain during the French Religious Wars.

1684 Tertullian Apologetics Early Church Father Pagan Gnosticism Heresy Giry

"Truth persuades by teaching, but does not teach by persuading."
― Tertullian

Tertullian was a 2nd-century early Christian church author and apologist. His works helped establish Western theology and early Church doctrine, especially those that spoke out against heresy. He is perhaps most famous for being the first Latin writer to use the term 'trinity' in reference to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Tertullian emphatically defended Christianity against pagans as well as defended 'freedom of religion' as human right unable to be taken away. One of his important apologetics was an anti-Jewish treatise to counteract Gnosticism and other philosophically based doctrines.
These defenses, along with other Tertullian works, are collected in this 1684 French edition. This edition features the translation and notes of Louis Giry.

1714 Blaise PASCAL Pensees Christian Apologetic Pascal's Wager French Philosophy

"Men despise religion. They hate it and are afraid it may be true. The cure for this is first to show that religion is not contrary to reason, but worthy of reverence and respect. Next make it attractive, make good men wish it were true, and then show that it is."
– Pascal, Pensees
Blaise Pascal's thoughts, organized as "Pensees," were written as a collection of writings on theology and philosophy. 'Pensees' was a culmination of all of Pascal's non-mathematic discoveries and ideas which ultimately led him to a life of religious asceticism. He defended Christianity in this work. In doing so, it 'became one of the most famous Christian books in history.' (Keller, Gospel Coalition). 'Pascal was aware that, very often, we see only what we want to see' (Morris, 145) and because of that, he hoped to be able to 'convince man to overcome the natural reluctance many feel toward religion.' The concept of "Pascal's Wager" stems… Read More

Beadle also includes numerous descriptions of Native American Indian tribes such as the Navajo and Mexicans, Aztec descendants, gold and silver mining, railroad construction, and the rise of Mormons in Utah.

1835 American Antiquities Priest MAP Trail of Tears Indians Mormons Cannibals
A polemic text on the origin of civilization in the Americas. Priest argued that America was the land where Noah's Ark came to rest and suggested that at least some of the mounds had been built before the Deluge. Surveying the various themes of mound builder origins, he could not decide whether the mounds were the work of Polynesians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Israelites, Scandinavians, Welsh, Scots, or Chinese, although he felt certain the Indians had not built them.
"As the frontier receded and Americans found their lives becoming more regulated and urbanized, they were willing to seek escape in Priest's world. Ultimately, it is not surprising he attempted to write an epic of prehistoric America. His effort is so ambitious, so ludicrous in the face of archaeological evidence, such a collection of bizarre conjecture, such a failed synthesis of so much diverse information, and so ultimately fascinating, that it stands as… Read More
