A Practical View of the Prevailing Religious System of Professed Christians, in the Higher and Middle Classes, Contrasted With Real Christianity (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book re-examines the nature of true Christian belief, and the flaws in the way many people in the world today subscribe to the core tenets of Christianity. The author argues the beliefs of many believers are incomplete, based on emotion and personal feelings rather than scripture and revelation, and are therefore insufficient in the eyes of God. The book examines core Christian beliefs such as the importance of Christ's atonement and redemption, the role of the Holy Spirit, and the need for believers to actively resist sin and live lives of piety and good works. The book provides an insightful and thought-provoking look at true Christian belief and practice, and will challenge readers to examine their own level of commitment to God and to the tenets of their faith.

About the Author
William Wilberforce (1759-1833) was an English politician and a leader of the movement to abolish the slave trade. At the age of 26 he underwent a conversion experience and became an evangelical Christian, which resulted in a lifelong concern for reform. He headed the parliamentary campaign against the British slave trade for many years until the passage of the Slave Trade Act of 1807, which abolished the slave trade in the British Empire but did not abolish slavery itself. In later years, Wilberforce supported the campaign for the complete abolition of slavery. He died shortly after the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 passed through the House of Commons, freeing all slaves in the British Empire. He was buried in Westminster Abbey.
