Publisher's Synopsis
Some Defects In English Religion: And Other Sermons is a collection of sermons written by John Neville Figgis and originally published in 1917. Figgis was an Anglican theologian and historian who was known for his critiques of the Church of England and his advocacy for a more inclusive and socially engaged Christianity. The sermons in this book address a range of topics related to English religion, including the need for greater social justice, the dangers of religious dogmatism, and the importance of personal spiritual growth. Figgis argues that the Church of England has become too focused on ritual and tradition, and has lost sight of its mission to serve the needs of the wider community. Throughout the book, Figgis draws on his extensive knowledge of Christian history and theology to offer insights into contemporary religious issues. He also uses examples from his own life and experiences to illustrate his points, making the sermons accessible and engaging for readers. Overall, Some Defects In English Religion: And Other Sermons is a thought-provoking and challenging work that offers a fresh perspective on the role of religion in society. It will be of interest to anyone interested in the history of Christianity, as well as those looking for inspiration and guidance in their own spiritual journeys.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
