"Revered Wisdom: Christianity" offers an abridged edition of William Paley's seminal work, "A View of the Evidence of Christianity", which was required reading at Cambridge University until the twentieth century. A classic in the world of theological debate, the book argues, in lucid prose, the genuine nature of the intellectual credentials of Christianity. Although today William Paley is a controversial figure, as many of his assertions laid the foundation for the Intelligent Design movement, there is no doubt of the influence and importance of his work.
