Undesigned Coincidences in the Old and New Testaments by J J Blunt and published by Classics.
The works in this book is a revised edition of “The Veracity of the Books of Moses”, “The Veracity of the Historical Scriptures of the Old Testament” and “The Veracity of the Gospels and Acts,” argued from undesigned coincidences to be found in them when compared in their several parts. They were all of them originally the substance of Sermons delivered before the University, some in a Course of Hulsean Lectures, others on various occasions. I have thought that by reducing this to the same shape as the rest, and combining it with them, the whole would present a continued argument, or rather a continued series of independent arguments, for the Veracity of the Scriptures, of which the elect would be greater than that of the separate works could be, which might be read perhaps out of the natural order, and which were not altogether uniform in their plan.
But as this test of veracity proved applicable, though in a less degree, for reasons I have assigned elsewhere, to the Prophetical Scriptures also, I have introduced into the present Volume in its proper place, evidence of the same kind which had been long lying by me, for the Veracity of some of those Writings; thus employing one and the same touchstone of truth, to verify successively the Books of Moses, the Historical Scriptures of the Old Testament, the Prophetical, and the Gospels and Acts, in their order.
