Excerpt from Authentic Report of the Public Discussion Between Joseph Barker and William Cooke: In the Lecture Room, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, on August 19th, 20th, 22nd, 26th, 27th, 28th, and Sept. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, on the Question, What Is a Christian? And on the Dootrines of the Atonement, the Trinity, Natural Depravity, Eternal Torments, &C., With A But few prefatory remarks are necessary. My antagonist is well known as one who was once a popular advocate of Christianity, but who has since renounced almost everything of religion but a nominal profession of it, and has employed his powers to undermine that Gospel he once defended. My resi dence in his locality was singularly providential-unsought and unexpected by myself; and equally so my collision with him. Though I had known him intimately in his better days, J I had no desire to come into contact with him, and indeed felt inclined to lay it down as a principle in my conduct to avoid any public collision. But sent to repair the broken walls which he hath ruthlessly thrown down, and to preach the Gospel to a people scattered and bewildered by his pernicious doctrines, and surrounded by a community of tens of thousands whose minds were abused by his misrepresentations, I felt called upon at length to oppose error by proclaiming the truth, and to neutralize misrepresentation by publishing facts. I was thus forced into the arena, and was chal lenged by my Opponent to meet him in public Discussion. This, I declined at. First, neither deeming myself qualified for debate, nor thinking it the best way to defend and exhibit truth. These challenges, however, were repeated and renewed almost every week in his publications and the same honour was extended to all other ministers. Still declining, my antagonist often insinuated to his readers that a secret consci ousness of the unsoundness of our principles was the true cause of our not accepting his challenges. Therefore, looking at the fact that this insinuation was believed by thousands, and that immense masses of immortal souls were being deceived and ruined by his sophistry and perversions of Holy Scripture, I at last resolved, in the name of David's God, to meet the vaunt ing Goliah. A committee, formed of about twenty-five minis ters and Christian friends of high respectability, and connected with the several Evangelical Denominations, gathered around me, arrangements were made, and the Discussion followed. Respecting the arrangements, I have to observe that almost every advantage my opponent desired was conceded to him, in order to preclude the possibility of his evading the contest. 1. The subject, What is a Christian i was chosen by him self. This, and this alone, was accepted by me. 2. The time was fixed by himself to suit his own convenience. 3. The place was chosen by himself. 4. The time for each speaker was determined by Mr. Barker. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
