[Introduction]

No matter what man wishes to discover, he must first hold some fundamental beliefs which he accepts as reliable, and upon which he may base his research. Until a man believes certain fundamentals he can advance little further.

The Christian faith docs present intellectual difficulties to some thinking men, for which reason they will not accept its demands. True it is, that man should not act upon something which he believes is untenable. Nor is it to be wondered at that many thinking people consider parts of the Christian faith irrational, simply because their process of rational consideration is based on wrong premises.

For instance, the miracles of Christ in the light of physical laws appear to be a practical impossibility at first sight; or the account of the Resurrection if compared with all other historical records could be protested against as being a theory.
