Tentang eBook ini
The opening part begins with the editor’s introduction, Butler’s preface, and a memoir of John Pickard Owen, reflecting personal struggles with faith and doubt. The early chapters of The Fair Haven then critique Christian apologetics, focusing on Strauss’s hallucination theory and the conversion of St. Paul. Butler highlights weaknesses in conventional defenses of Christianity and questions the reliability of Paul’s testimony. This section establishes the conflict between reason and belief as the central theme. Part 1 thus lays the intellectual groundwork for the book’s debates.

Tentang pengarang
Samuel Butler was a 19th-century English novelist and essayist, best known for his sharp critiques of the hypocrisy within Victorian religion and morality. He spent part of his youth managing a sheep farm in New Zealand, an experience that later shaped his literary imagination. His notable work Erewhon uses satire and paradox to question social institutions and human nature, while writings like The Way of All Flesh critically examined the Bible and Christian faith. Though controversial during his time, his works have since been recognized for their modern insights. Butler persistently explored the contradictions of human existence and civilization, leaving behind a distinctive literary voice.
