Average Book and Mostly Good Reading

(My score indicates the quality of the reading/audio) I have a deep interest in philosophy, especially theology, and I would recommend this book to anyone wanting an introduction to theological philosophy. There is a good history of philosophy up until the 19th century and many of the questions proposed are still discussed today. Charles Bradlaugh, an atheist, is a very well read theologian and his essays are well constructed, albeit now very outdated. He poses many questions and stances that, for his time, we're very counter culture and are continued to be addressed by theologians to the present day (although none of his positions are of his creation he explains and argues them somewhat well). However, some of his arguments are in bad faith (ba-dum-tss) even by the standards of his day. The reading was mostly good and many of the readers did absolutely fantastic. However, a few readers had very bad audio (one too quiet, and one low quality and poorly edited).
