Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Layman's Religion We have ceased to regard religion as a thing to be observed on Sundays and laid aside for the remainder of the week. To become effective as a social agent it must have trained spiritual specialists, and these must have intelligent, courageous soldiers to execute their commands. When religion was regarded as purely a creature of the emotions, a sort of religious frenzy to be worked up in evangelistic revival or prayer meeting, laymen might give it nominal adherence, but many of them shrank from its public avowal and exhibition. The different definition which we are giving to religion to-day has set free a vast reservoir of power among the laymen of the Church, power which, if rightly guided, will go far toward mak ing the Church what it ought to be, a dynamic force in social as well as individual life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Layman's Religion He may supplement the spiritual dynamic of the preacher most effectively with his practical training and business experience. Too often the layman leaves all of the spiritual activities of the Church to the preacher. Is it not time to go back to first principles and to recognize the layman as a spiritual unit for whose express benefit the Church is organized? For the layman too is an individual and sustains an independent relation to the universe. He is a part of the great scheme of God; he looks out with infinite interest at the life he is living; he yearns for the spiritual consolations, if there be any, which religion has to offer. The layman, if he be intelligent, must have a philosophy of life, and if he be serious, a religion in which he anchors his faith. These chapters are not intended as complete discussions of the various topics, but as cross-sections of the reactions of a layman to religious problems. The widening interest of our thoughtful and sincere laymen in religious activities should be heartily welcomed by all who desire to see the Church grow in scope and influence. To assist in interpreting this modern lay movement in our churches, and to encourage it so far as possible, is the purpose of this book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Layman's Faith, Doctrines, and Liturgy We are well aware that no system, long established and interwoven by habit and education into the fabric of opinion, and strengthened by pecuniary interests, can be suddenly altered. Our object, therefore, is not to put down what exists, but to induce inquiry and stimulate thought. In free England we may dissent from what is established, follow our own convictions, and discuss any question, and it is in this way we hope for some success. We are con vinced that in proportion to the acquisition of truth, and the practice of it, as respects religion, will be individual freedom and happiness. We have long been convinced that the only safe guide Christians have in religious matters is the Gospels, and that when our faith in the Divinity of Christ is firm, we can see in the words of our Lord the very truth of God, our understanding being en lightened by the Holy Spirit.

Download or read book The Catholic Layman Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Arthur Edward Gayer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-06 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Catholic Layman, Vol. 1 The originators were not satisfied with the prevailing tone and spirit of religious controversy in Ireland, and aimed at improving it and, while doing so, desired to facilitate the researches of the student or religious inquirer, by rendering more easy of access the learned writers usually referred to in such controversies, and by furnishing those who have not a ready access to extensive libraries with extracts and authorities, on the accuracy and honesty of which they might safely rely. The conviction that some such work was needed was based upon the known facts, that good theological libraries are not everywhere accessible to general readers, and that the parochial clergy, even when themselves possessing the necessary col lection of books, are generally so much occupied by their laborious pastoral duties, that they have not the leisure needful to enable them to give their personal assistance in guiding religious inquirers to the sources from which an accurate knowledge on such subjects can alone be derived. It was thought also that it would be more easy to render such subjects generally interesting by treating of them in a monthly periodical, than by publishing at once the same amount of matter, in a more elaborate and systematic form, in a volume which would, from its very bulk, have been more likely to deter than attract the general reader. It also occurred to the originators of the work that the novelty of the experiment of opening the pages of such a periodical freely to the best writers on both sides of the questions in dispute, without any restriction, except that the combatants should preserve a kindly tone and Christian temper, would tend not only to secure a fair and accurate discussion of the great ques tions at issue, but to excite attention and public interest, without rousing bad passions or sacrificing Christian charity. In these expectations they were not disappointed. The work attained such extensive popularity that, (had the object partaken in any degree of the nature of a pecuniary speculation, ) it might have been profitably continued at the very time of its voluntary termination; inasmuch as for, the year preceding it had attained the almost unparalleled circulation of copies monthly. As the writers, however, had accomplished, to the best of their powers, the task they had imposed upon themselves, the success and popularity of the periodical afforded no inducement to them to continue it; and they deemed it more consistent with the character of the work to close its pages while its popularity and success were at the highest, than to wait until either failing health on the part of the Editor, or satiety on the part of the public, might compel its termination with a more questionable success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from 'Religio Laici' Judaica: The Faith of a Jewish Layman Is implied, in journalistic language, by a parting of the ways and a crisis in affairs. It means that the Jewish community of Eng land is dividing itself into two camps, the orthodox and reform, or the Conservative and Liberal, or the old and the new, for the Classification is strangely familiar, and the simplest forms of expression are the best. Can the old beliefs put on their new Clothes Can the Jew who conscientiously rejects the tradition of the inspiration of the Pentateuch attend the same public worship as the Jew who conscientiously accepts it Nay more, can the same name Jew continue to include them both P Or does the so-called New Criticism set a bar between Jew and Jew, leaving the traditionalists to defend a lost cause and a forsaken belief - ou the side of the angels, it may be, but of angels who have been superannuated - and placing the Liberals or Liberationists at the head of a movement.

Download or read book Foundations of Religion in the Mind and Heart of Man Classic Reprint written by John Barnard Byles and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Foundations of Religion in the Mind and Heart of Man Theological controversy, in the ordinary sense of the word, has in these pages been as much as possible avoided. A layman is neither qualified, nor disposed to thread the interminable maze. But, on the other hand, he is more at liberty than a clergyman of any Church or Sect can be, or ought to be, to say all, and exactly what he thinks. Some readers may complain, that positive conclusions have not been pushed further. But the object has been to labour on common ground, especially for the benefit of the young and uninstructed (for whom alone the author presumes to write), by showing in a popular manner, on how broad, solid, and immovable a foundation religious Faith, Hope, and Worship repose to cheer and fortify sincere and anxious hearts, whatever form of the Christian religion they may have embraced. It is plain, that this end must have been entirely frustrated, had the narrow tenets or interests of any particular Church, sect, or party, been directly or indirectly advocated or attacked.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dialogues Between a Clergyman and a Layman: On Family Worship I cannot say how much of terror, how much of consolation, I derived from this discovery. I felt that we Clergymen might by our false representations of the Gospel with which we were entrusted, be undermining the domestic life of our land. I learnt that every Layman, whatever his present confusions or scepticism, has in his domestic life a clue to the mysteries of the Gospel, as they are set forth in the history of the Bible, in the direct language of the Creeds, of which our teaching cannot deprive him. Theology and Family Life are so closely linked together by God, that men cannot put them asunder. They must fall together; they may rise together.

Download or read book Short Sermons From a Layman s Legacy Classic Reprint written by Samuel Greg and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short Sermons From a Layman's Legacy The twelve Sermons by the late Samuel Greg contained in this volume are taken from the second edition of A Layman's Legacy, published in 1883 and now out of print. The sermons were delivered to a small congregation in Macclesfield, chiefly composed of working men, during the years 1864 to 1874. Personal friends, and others who had been attracted by the sincere and tender Christian piety of the author, urged the desirability of issuing a selection of these discourses in a form and at a price which would ensure a wider circulation than was possible for the larger work. Samuel Greg was born September 6th, 1804, and died after a prolonged illness, May 14th, 1876. He was the elder brother of William Rathbone Greg, the author of The Creed of Christendom, and other well-known works. After a careful education at Nottingham and Bristol, he commenced business as a mill-owner, but ill-health, and disappointments and worries in the cotton trade, soon led to his retirement. His illness began in 1847 and lasted, with only occasional intervals free from pain, until his death. After his withdrawal from business, he occupied himself with various schemes for the elevation of the labouring classes, in preparing occasional lectures for working-men, writing short poems, and in correspondence with many loved friends. In 1854 he published, for the use of Sunday schools, a delightful volume entitled Scenes from the Life of Jesus, also out of print.
