Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Living God in England and India: A Sermon Preached by Baboo Keshub Chunder Sen, in Mill-Hill Chapel, Leeds, on Sunday, August 28th, 1870 "And they shall comb from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the Kingdom of God." - Luke xiii. 29. If you desire to see the living God carrying on the work of national redemption in a living manner, you should go to India. You will see there a spectacle which in simple beauty and grandeur has, I believe, no parallel in any other part of the world at the present moment. In these days of materialism, mammon worship and little faith, of second-hand revelation, and formal devotion, it is certainly refreshing, and likewise profitable, to see the direct action of God´s Spirit on the heart of the individual and the nation. For you see in India, not a small sect trying to work out their own salvation according to books and doctrines, or according to the teachings of metaphysicians. You see in the Brahmo Somaj, or the Reformed National Church of India, nothing but a vast and wonderful spiritual force and power, striving to break through the fetters of superstition, idolatry, demoralising social customs, and the accumulated evils of ages. You see there a power raised by God himself for the purpose of bringing light and salvation into% nation that possessed at one time a noble civilisation, but is at the present moment sunk in the mire of idolatry and ignorance.
