Cooper's writing is engaging and accessible, making complex historical concepts easy to understand for readers of all backgrounds. He is able to distill complex historical debates and theories into digestible summaries that further strengthen his argument for the truth of Christianity.
Overall, "The Bridge of History Over the Gulf of Time" is a well-researched and thought-provoking exploration of the historical evidence for Christianity. Cooper's book is sure to appeal to anyone interested in the intersection of faith and history, and it offers a compelling case for the truth of Christianity based on historical evidence. Book Description: Written by the former skeptic, poet, and scholar, Thomas Cooper, The Bridge of History Over the Gulf of Time admirably sets forth a winsome defense of Christianity. Written as the substance of fourteen years of lectures, at the request of his hearers, Cooper leads his reader across the bridge of history, through the centuries, tracing Christianity. At last, he addresses "Leben Jesu" by Dr. David Friedrich Strauss, discusses the historicity of the four Gospels, and offers some concluding evidences for the truth of Christianity.
