Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lord´s Day No Preface can be required for the purpose of introducing Hengstenberg to English readers. He is already sufficiently known and appreciated, for his name alone to be all that is necessary, to secure for any work of his their thoughtful perusal. But there are, perhaps, few subjects on which a work from the continent would be looked upon with greater suspicion than that of the present volume. Our general horror of a "continental Sunday," and the prevalent idea that laxity both of views and practice are universally characteristic of foreigners, are enough to excite the instantaneous inquiry, Can any good thing come out of Germany? These feelings do not exist without just cause. Our aversion to a continental Sunday is certainly a right one. And, though the effect upon foreigners is, perhaps, not so injurious as it would be upon us, every true friend of his country, who has ever spent a Sunday abroad, must have felt, as he marked the contrast between their Sundays and ours, the earnest wish that we may for ever be preserved from the temptation to spend our Sundays in the same way. But the opinion is incorrect, that there are none in those countries who deplore the evil. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
