The Causes of the Decay of Christian Piety (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a contemporary examination of the Christian religion during the 17th century and how it failed to live up to its purpose of instilling virtue and piety in its followers. The author's analysis reveals how the lives of many Christians contradicted the teachings of their faith, leading to widespread moral decay and corruption. By contrasting the lofty ideals of Christianity with the prevalent vices of the time, the author demonstrates that religion alone cannot ensure virtuous behavior and explores the complex reasons behind this failure to provide practical guidance for readers seeking to understand the disconnect between religious principles and human conduct. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332974689_0
