Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Doctrines and Genius of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church "He that entertains himself with moral or religious treatises will imperceptibly advance in goodness." - Samuel Johnson. "I have gained the most profit, and the most pleasure also, from the books which have made me think the most." - Guesses at Truth. To one of the world´s great reformers, equally eminent as a preacher and as a theologian, is attributed a frequent repetition of the obvious truth that "only a reading people can be a growing people." The Board of Publication of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church has acted wisely in proposing to publish and place in the hands of our people a series of good books. Of a denomination of Christians it is true, as of the individual Christian, that in the measure in which it reads will it be intelligent, free, liberal, and progressive. There may not be too much reading of newspapers and other transient and fragmentary matter, but there is certainly a pernicious tendency among Church members to neglect the reading of good books; and it is the writer´s ardent wish that the special work undertaken by our board may have a salutary influence in correcting this tendency. Though this work has been furnished in response to a request from the Board of Publication, the author was left free in the selection of a subject, and the selection was determined by a desire to produce, if possible, a plain and thoughtful book that would interest and profit the reader. To promote growth in grace, to enlarge our views of religious life and duty, and to broaden and strengthen the foundations of our Christian character, patient reflection on the great Bible themes discussed in this book have a potency that is known only to those who have experienced it.
