Inhaltsangabe

This book combines deep analysis with historical context to provide a complete examination of the nature and significance of vital Christianity. Set against the prevailing religious sentiment of the day, it offers a bold and yet conciliatory look at the relationship between Christianity in its original form and the society in which the author lived. The book's strength is not only its breadth of knowledge on the subject but also its manner; it is written with authority but is meek and affectionate in tone. The book's influence in its time cannot be understated: the author's position and sincerity lent weight to his arguments, which played an important part in rescuing Britain from the moral decline that was so rife at the end of the eighteenth century.

Excerpt from A Practical View of the Prevailing Religious System of Professed Christians, in the Higher and Middle Classes: Contrasted With Real Christianity

Few subjects could be more happily chosen: be cause, without entering into controversy, or awaken ing the hostility of any class of readers, it argues on the admitted principles common to Christians generally, and especially to members of our National Church; and shows, beyond all reasonable doubt, the wide interval which had been interposed be tween our principles and our practice_-our doctrine and our belief - our Bibles and ourselves.
