Religion not beyond reason: a reply to the remarks of Alexander G. Burnett, Esq., of Kemnay, on broadchurchism, rationalism, and unitarianism

Aberdeen: George Middleton and Bookseller

1873

8 pages

Chapbook #11 in a bound collection of 17 chapbooks

The chapbook is a print edition of a letter originally submitted for publication to the editor of the Aberdeen Free Press in response to a piece written by Mr. Burnett in that newspaper on July 29th. An inscription on the opening page indicates that the letter was not published in the paper as the editor wished to bring the current discussion to a close, so the author decided to publicize his letter himself by printing in the current form. The letter addresses Mr. Burnett’s expressed opinion that Unitarianism leads to Aetheism and damnation, defending instead a rational approach to religion and theology. The letter quite thoroughly addresses Burnett’s criticisms at length and turns his own arguments against him as themselves “superstitious.” This chapbook is part of a collection of chapbooks produced in Aberdeen which have been bound together in this volume.
