Synopsis

A candor-filled critique of modern faith and practice .

This volume contrasts professed Christianity with the real, lived faith, urging readers to examine how belief shows up in daily life, character, and public duty.

In clear, accessible prose, it explores how true Christianity should shape affections, conduct, and the use of time—especially the meaning and use of the Sabbath, humility, charity, and the duties of citizens. It argues that genuine faith elevates morals and community life, while a too-narrow view of religion can drift toward mere form or worldly calculation.
What you’ll experience

• A thoughtful examination of the difference between nominal and real Christianity
• Discussions on how faith should guide everyday behavior, not just private ritual
• Insights into how religious conviction can support social and political well-being
• Practical guidance on aligning beliefs with compassionate, active practice

Ideal for readers seeking a principled, historical perspective on religious life and its impact on personal virtue and public life. This edition presents a historical critique that remains relevant for those evaluating how faith informs daily actions.
