Letter from J. C. VanBeil to Isaac Leeser, February 6, 1850
Description
A letter from J. C. VanBeil to Isaac Leeser, dated February 6, 1850, from Washington Square, Philadelphia. The writer recounts a conversation with a young man who views the Bible as merely a "true history," questioning God's attributes of mercy and foreknowledge. VanBeil expresses his own belief in the Bible as the word of God and the foundation of their faith. He concludes by seeking guidance on how to respond to the young man's skepticism.
