Beeby argues that Spencer's views are in conflict with the teachings of the Gospel and that they lead to the damnation of most men. The book explores the idea of salvation and the role of the Gospel in the lives of individuals. Beeby argues that the Gospel is a message of hope and salvation for all, not just for a select few. The book is a critique of Spencer's views and an attempt to reconcile them with the teachings of the Gospel. It is a thought-provoking and insightful read that challenges readers to think critically about their beliefs and the role of religion in society.This scarce antiquarian
