Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Gospel of Common Sense: As Contained in the Canonical Epistle of James Life is practical. Men need plain rules for their daily guidance. Plain rules depend on principles. Principles are abstract, and belong to the domain of philosophy. We owe incalculable debts to the men who work in this department; but they are cut off from the sympathy of the mass of mankind, who cannot appreciate their labors. There is, however, something which can be appreciated by us all, namely, the plain teaching of those rules by which daily life is guided. It is a good sign that there is an increase of books on ethics, books which can be understood by even those who are so unlearned as not to know what the word "ethics" means. This volume is in that line. The Hebrew and Christian Sacred Scriptures are not only authoritative in religion; they are rich in ethics. A visible life constructed on the Decalogue, the Book of Proverbs, the Sermon on the Mount and the Epistle of James would fill the loftiest, broadest and most beautiful outline of manhood. The Epistle of James has always been a great favorite with the writer of these pages. He never sympathized with the estimate once placed upon it by Luther, who called it an "epistle of straw," because it was not robust with theological discussions like the Pauline writings.
