Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religion of a Layman This is not a commentary - it is an interpretation of the Sermon on the Mount. I have turned quite away from all technical, critical questions of exegesis to indicate, if I might in terse and modern phrase, the main content and bearing of the more vital portions of this well-known and widely quoted passage of scripture. My indebtedness to that excellent treatise on "The Sermon on the Mount" by Bishop Gore will be manifest to anyone who reads both books. We cannot make too plain the fact that religion is not primarily a system of beliefs to be cherished - it utilizes beliefs but they are altogether secondary. Religion is not a set of forms to be observed - it utilizes forms but they too are secondary. Religion is not a tremendous emotional upheaval through which a man may pass on his way to glory - it may utilize this as a line of approach or as a point of departure but such an experience is altogether incidental. Religion is a life to be lived seven days in the week in all those relationships which make up human existence. The man who is striving with all the grace God gives him to live the life of obedient trust and of unselfish action is religious and no other sort of man can be.

Download or read book Atheism Religion and Life A Layman s Perspective written by Brian Hinkley and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-04-10 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A book that lays bare the fallacy of religion. It makes an unmistakable statement on the personal effect religion has on the individual; and the damage inflicted on the cultural, political and economic life of the world's population. Arguments for and against religion, atheism and the philosophy of life are examined, but always geared towards the layman. Humour, and irreverent commentary, assists the reader to question Bible events, in a fashion that helps the ordinary person to understand religion from an atheist's perspective. The bogus claims made by religions, are dissected by the clever use of stories, quotes, and examining relevant sections of the Bible. Veiled sections of the Bible that most of the public either have never heard of, or don't believe exist are exposed. A provocative read to challenge both the religious and non-religious. It is concise and understandable. Agree or disagree, one thing all critics agree upon, it will make you think about life and religion.
