Synopsis

A Practical View Of The Prevailing Religious System Of Professed Christians, In The Higher And Middle Classes In This Country; Contrasted With Real Christianity. With A Memoir, By T. Price is a polemical treatise by William Wilberforce (augmented by a Memoir authored by the Rev. Thomas Price) that critiques the complacent, formal Christianity common among Britain's upper and middle classes and contrasts it with genuine, Bible-centered Christianity. Wilberforce contends that many profess their faith without embracing its core doctrines or obeying its moral demands; he emphasizes the fallen nature of humanity, the necessity of repentance and faith in Christ, and the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit. The work integrates doctrinal critique with practical exhortations—urging humility, self-examination, and a vigorous, universal application of Christian principles to personal life and public affairs, including politics. The included Memoir by Price outlines Wilberforce’s life, religious formation, and abolitionist contributions. The volume thus serves as both theological manifesto and moral guide to living out authentic Christianity in society.
