Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Salvation Here and Hereafter: Sermons and Essays Our Lord´s purpose in this parable is, I think, to startle us into serious religious thought, not to set forth a particular religious doctrine. If we look for a special doctrine in it, we shall find it difficult to agree as to what the special doctrine is. It is not, of course, that rich men go to hell because they are rich, and that beggars because they are beggars go to heaven. It is not that it is sin to have property and salvation to be a pauper. For in that case, for one thing, the road to hell would, contrary to Scripture, be difficult and the way to heaven easy; it being easy for us all to come to beggary if we wish, and hard for all of us to become rich, try how we will. Neither is it that a rich man is lost if he is a bad man, while a beggar if he is a good man is saved; for, besides that this is a lesson not worth teaching, nothing is said either as to the rich man being bad, or the beggar being good.
