The Heretic is a novel written by Lewis Erwin Finney. The book tells the story of a man named John Hersey, who is a professor of theology at a prestigious university. Hersey is a devout Christian, but he begins to question his faith after the death of his wife and child in a car accident. He becomes obsessed with the idea of finding proof of God's existence, and he starts to challenge the traditional beliefs of his colleagues and students.As Hersey's ideas become more radical, he is branded a heretic by the university and is forced to leave his job. He embarks on a journey to find the truth about God, and he travels to different parts of the world to seek out evidence of divine intervention.Throughout the book, Hersey's ideas are met with resistance and opposition from both religious and secular authorities. He faces persecution and danger as he continues his search for the truth, but he remains steadfast in his beliefs.The Heretic is a thought-provoking and challenging novel that explores the nature of faith, reason, and the search for truth. It is a compelling story that will appeal to readers who are interested in philosophy, theology, and the intersection of science and religion.1924. The romance, rebellion, regeneration and religion of an ex-priest, who, himself, told this story to the author. The book begins: The fog was so dense that one could not see the planks at his feet. It moved with the pedestrian and distilled on his clothing. It shrouded the town and the river, and made mysterious the sounds which it intensified. The voices of the fishermen in their boats seemed but a few feet away, and one could hear the splash as a fish was lifted out of its native element. The running of the lifts of the coal mine, and the steady whine of a shrill whistle at the saltworks, gave notice that industry does not wait for sunshine. Busy hammers could be heard calking the new steamboat, Emma Rickard, at the boatyard, a mile away.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
