This work is a compilation of letters in which Jaime Balmes presents a rational defense of orthodox religious faith. It provides a powerful philosophical argument against the rationalistic-materialistic ideologies that had begun to emerge in nineteenth-century Europe. Balmes engages in debate with atheists, agnostics, and materialists, and provides answers to their objections to religious doctrines. This book offers a valuable resource for those seeking a better understanding of traditional religious thought and the intellectual arguments that support it.
