From the pulpit of eighteenth-century Oxford, Joseph White addressed one of the most charged questions of his age: how do Christianity and Islam stand when judged by history, reason, and their effects on human society? The university listened in silence. A Comparison of Mahometism and Christianity gathers his landmark sermons, where close argument, scriptural learning and keen observation come together in classic theological discourse. Framed as Christian apologetics sermons yet unusually careful for their time, these comparative religion lectures trace the rise of both faiths, test the historical evidence for Christianity, and weigh religion's impact on civilisation in law, morals and intellect. White's measured Christianity and Islam comparison, rooted in original sources and the scholarship of his day, makes this volume essential reading for theology students, for religious studies courses, and for anyone interested in a classic Islam Christianity debate handled with rigour rather than rhetoric. As a set of 18th century Oxford sermons, the Joseph White Bampton Lectures also stand as a key English church history source, capturing how an Anglican divine understood the wider religious world at the dawn of modernity. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, suitable both for serious study and for the shelves of readers who cherish enduring works of faith and reason.
