Présentation de l'éditeur
Oxford Library of Practical Theology is to supply some carefully considered teaching on matters of Religion to that large body of devout laymen, who desire instruction, but are not attracted by the learned treatises which appeal to the theologian. One of the needs of the time would seem to be, to translate the solid theological learning, of which there is no lack, into the vernacular of everyday practical religion; and while steering a course between what is called plain teaching on the one hand and erudition on the other, to supply some sound and readable instruc tion, to those who require it, on the subjects included under the common title The Christian Religion, that they may be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh them a reason of the hope that is in them, with meakness and fear.
