Publisher's Synopsis
Salt: Ye Are The Salt Of The Earth is a book written in 1891 by Sarah S. Baker. The book is a religious text that explores the concept of salt as a metaphor for the Christian faith. The title is taken from the Bible verse Matthew 5:13, which states, ""Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.""In the book, Baker delves into the various ways in which salt is used and valued, such as its ability to preserve food and enhance flavor. She then draws parallels between these uses of salt and the role of Christians in the world. Baker argues that Christians are called to be a preserving influence in society, working to uphold moral values and combat corruption. She also emphasizes the importance of Christians adding ""flavor"" to the world by sharing the gospel message and living out their faith in a way that is attractive to others.Throughout the book, Baker uses anecdotes and examples from her own life and the lives of others to illustrate her points. She also includes quotes from the Bible and other religious texts to support her arguments. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both casual readers and those interested in deeper theological discussions.Overall, Salt: Ye Are The Salt Of The Earth is a thought-provoking exploration of the Christian faith and its role in the world. It offers practical advice for Christians looking to live out their faith in a meaningful way and make a positive impact on the world around them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
