The Gordian 

 i" Knot ^ 



or the Problem which 

 Baffles Infidelity 



BY 



ARTHUR T. PIERSON, D.D. 



This little book is the outcome of 

 honest doubt seeking a true answer to 

 great questions, and is addressed to can- 

 did inquirers after truth. The endeavor 

 is not to belittle difficulties on the one 

 hand, nor deal in unfair evasions on the 

 other, but to ask and answer such ques- 

 tions as these : Is there a God ? Is the 

 universe the work of a personal Creator ? 

 Whence came the order and perfection 

 of the universe, instinct in animals, in- 

 telligence and conscience in man ? How 

 can we account for the Bible and Jesus 

 Christ, and is there a life beyond ? 



Lutheran Observer, Philadelphia: 

 '• The merit of the volume is in the fact 

 that it presents in clear, simple,compact 

 form the great arguments for a' theistic 

 and distinctively Christian view of na- 

 ture and man. It is fitted to do fine ser- 

 vice."
