Excerpt from Practical Christianity

We do not mean to imply in the title of this book that there are two kinds of Christianity, - one kind which is "practical" and one that is not. We simply mean that this book does not deal with speculative problems, but with the facts of life.

It is said of Socrates that he brought philosophy down out of the heavens to the earth. The statement means that Socrates abandoned the fruitless speculations of the early Greek philosophers concerning the origin of the universe and the constitution of the heavens and the earth, and sought instead for a practical method of life. How can a man realize in his own life the highest Good? This is the all important question with him.

In a much truer sense Jesus Christ brought religion out of the heavens to the earth.
