Synopsis
Explore a thoughtful path to the divine through five addresses on God, faith, and society. This volume gathers the heart and mind of John Wilhelm Rowntree, a 19th–century Quaker thinker, in accessible essays that illuminate personal faith and its social reach.
With an introduction by Rufus M. Jones, the book presents Rowntree’s call to translate Christ into modern terms and to live a practical Christianity. It looks at what worship means, what God asks of the individual, and how Jesus speaks to the state and to everyday life. The collection also includes a portrait of Rowntree’s life and influences, inviting readers to consider how spiritual conviction can shape character and action in a busy world.
- Clear, practical reflections on personal faith and everyday living
- Discussions of Jesus’ message for individuals and communities
- Historical context from a Quaker perspective, with biographical notes
- Thoughtful questions about how spirituality informs society and governance

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book from the early 20th century presents a series of sermons from John Wilhelm Rowntree, a prominent Quaker activist who explores the connection between God and humanity. The book opens by acknowledging the widespread disinterest in public worship and explores the underlying causes of this neglect. Rowntree examines the criticisms that the churches have become insincere, irrelevant, and removed from the struggles of everyday people. He argues that a true connection with God is not found in doctrinal rigidity or elaborate rituals but through personal conviction, a focus on practical love and compassion, and a willingness to engage with the challenges of the world. The author emphasizes the importance of a lived faith that translates Christ's teachings into meaningful action, working towards social justice and the betterment of humanity. Ultimately, this book offers a compelling perspective on the nature of worship, the role of religion in society, and the essence of a meaningful relationship with God.
