Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Real Christian Some readers may wish certain points more fully set forth; but the limits of the volume forbid this. The book is suggestive rather than exhaustive. It would incite investigation of the reasons and the remedy for Professor Max Mueller's statement that, The Christianity of the nineteenth century is not the Christianity of Christ and His apostles (chips from a German Workshop, preface). There are brilliant individual illustrations of real Christianity; but from the view-point of universal Christian history, It is still dawn, not sunrise, much less day. Some on the hilltops see more than others. There is power enough in the Gospel. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nightingale Being A story for children and A parable for men and women. N china, you must know, the Emperor is a Chinaman, and all whom he has about him are I Chinamen too. It happened a good many years ago, but that's just why it's worth while to hear the story before it's forgotten! The Emperor's Palace was the most splendid in the World; it was made entire ly of porcelain, very costly, but so delicate and brittle that one had to take care how one touched it. In the Garden were to be seen the most wonderful owers, and to the costliest of them silver bells were tied, which sounded, so that nobody should pass by without noticing the owers. Yes, every thing in the Emperor's Garden was admirably arranged. And it extended so far, that the Gardener himself did not know where the end was. If a man went on and on, he came into a glorious forest with high trees and deep lakes. The wood extended straight down to the sea, which was blue and deep; great vessels could sail beneath the branches of the trees, and in the trees lived a Nightingale, which sang so splendidly that even the poor Fisherman, who had many other things to do, stopped still and listened, when he had gone out at night to throw out his nets, and heard the N ightin gale. How beautiful that is! He said; but he was obliged to attend to his property and thus forgot the bird. But when in the next night, the bird sang again and the Fisherman heard it, he exclaimed again, H ow beautiful that is!tin at? From all the countries of the World, Travellers came to the City of the Emperor and admired it, and the Pal ace and the Garden, but when they heard the song of the Nightingale, they said: That is the best of all! And the Travellers told of it when they came home; and the learned men wrote many books about the Town, the Palace, and the Garden. But they did not forget the Nightingale; that was placed highest of all; and those who were Poets wrote most magnificent poems about the Nightingale in the wood, by the deep lake. The books went through all the World; and a few of them once came to the Emperor. He sat in his golden chair, and read, and read; every moment he nodded his head, for it pleased him to peruse the masterly descriptions of the City, the Palace, and the Garden. But the N i ghtin gale is the best of all it stood written there. What's that? Exclaimed the Emperor. I do not know the Nightingale at all! Is there such a bird in my Garden? I've never heard of that: to learn such a thing for the first time from books! And hereupon he called his Cavalier. This Cavalier was so grand that if any one lower in rank than himself dared to speak to him, or to ask him any question, he answered nothing but P! And that meant nothing.

Download or read book Wholly for God written by William Law and published by Martino Fine Books. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2012 Reprint of Original 1894 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Many have come to discover the writings of William Law through the publication of selections of his work edited by Andrew Murray. "A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life" (1728) deeply influenced the chief actors in the great Evangelical revival. John and Charles Wesley, George Whitefield, Henry Venn, Thomas Scott, and Thomas Adam all express their deep obligation to the author. "The Serious Call" also affected others deeply. Samuel Johnson, ] Gibbon, Lord Lyttelton and Bishop Home all spoke enthusiastically of its merits; and it is still the only work by which its author is popularly known. It has high merits of style, being lucid and pointed to a degree. Though not the most popular, perhaps the most interesting, original and suggestive of all Law's works are those he wrote in his later years, after he had become an enthusiastic admirer of Jacob Boehme, the Teutonic theosopher. From his earliest years, he had been deeply impressed with the piety, beauty and thoughtfulness of the writings of the Christian mystics. However, it was not till after his accidental meeting with the works of Boehme, about 1734, that pronounced mysticism appeared in his works.

Download or read book Fools for Christ written by Jaroslav Pelikan and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2001-11-07 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Holy is too great and too terrible when encountered directly for men of normal sanity to be able to contemplate it comfortably. Only those who cannot care for the consequences run the risk of the direct confrontation of the Holy. This book is a study of six men who ran this risk. Balancing the negative and positive points of view throughout these six essays, Jaroslav Pelikan has written a brilliant examination of the three questions: the True, the Good, and the Beautiful. With Kierkegaard and Paul, Dr. Pelikan looks into the relationship between the True and the Holy. With Dostoevsky and Luther, it is the Good and the Holy and with Nietzche and Bach, it is the Beautiful and the Holy. In the first two he draws on the whole history of Western thought. In the second two, he looks into the background of Christian morality, and in the last two, he reaches all the way back to the Greeks in his penetrating study of Western aesthetics. Philosophy, theology, ethics, and aesthetics - they are all here. Beyond them all, Dr. Pelikan shows how the Holy cannot be captured and held by any of them, although the attempt is frequently made. Rather the Holy must remain unqualified, transfiguring within itself the experience of the True, the Good, or the Beautiful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Living Christianity: Or Old Truths Restated It has long been a cherished hope of the author that he might be able to state the great essential doctrines of the common salvation - that is, the saving truths of the gospel - in such form as would commend them to the judgment and the cordial acceptation of God's chil dren in all evangelical denominations. This volume is the contribution of a Presbyterian to that wider Christian ity of the ancient past, and also of the future, in which it is hoped all evangelical Christians will ere long stand nearer together than they now stand, because they will learn to look less at their points of difference and more at the great principles of their common salvation. What the world needs is a living Christianity, and the Church can render it no better service than by proclaiming anew those old truths which are vital and saving.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christianity of Christ But, alas, the roots of the tree penetrated to the fountain, and the whole was tainted, and now the spring is neglected and its waters forsaken. So men have often spoiled the truth as it is in Jesus by attempting to improve it. Instead of accepting it as it is in all its native plainness, undoctored and un alloyed, they have sought to subtract from it here and add to it there, and thus have either robbed it of its strength and glory, or turned thirsty souls from it altogether.

This book was released on 2018-01-17 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The True Theory of Christianity The first edition of The Lost Book was published by the author in 1890. It contains a condensed statement of four hundred facts in harmony with the teachings of Christ, showing what he actually taught; or, what his doctrine really, literally, and truly was and is, when the records concerning it are properly interpreted and rightly understood. The Bible is so large and contains so much, that one might read it through and yet not know much about it. What everyone needs is a sort of digest of the Bible, like The Lost Book, that everybody can understand and come to Jesus confessing their ignorance, offering themselves and their services, and ask ing him to teach them. It is easy to make a man understand The Lost Book from beginning to end, if he will only just appreciate it and act upon its teachings. Trusting that the present edition of The Lost Book may meet with as favorable a reception as did the first, the second edition is now submitted to the public.

Download or read book The Truth of the Christian Religion Classic Reprint written by Julius Kaftan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Truth of the Christian Religion The case is similar with regard to the injunctions of morality, to which such great importance is assigned in the Christian religion. As they are represented in the conscience, they claim to be directly valid without any further justification or demonstration. If we ask whether they' are true, that does not mean whether they are subjectively valid in the manner stated, but it means whether they are' really to be referred to God, and because of such origin have the significance of objective laws of the world. The question therefore goes back, as before, to the other query whether the Christian faith which ascribes such significance to them is true. We are concerned with the truth of the Faith when we inquire regarding the truth of the Christian Religion.
