Publisher's Synopsis
""The Church A Family: Twelve Sermons On The Occasional Services Of The Prayer Book"" is a collection of sermons written by Frederick Denison Maurice and published in 1850. The book focuses on the concept of the church as a family, and how this idea is reflected in the various occasional services of the Anglican Prayer Book. Maurice argues that the church is not just an institution or a building, but a community of believers who are bound together by their shared faith and their relationship with God. He explores the significance of baptism, confirmation, marriage, and other sacraments and rites, and how they contribute to the spiritual growth and development of the individual and the community as a whole. Throughout the book, Maurice emphasizes the importance of love, compassion, and fellowship in the life of the church, and how these virtues can help to build a strong and vibrant community of faith. Overall, ""The Church A Family"" is a thoughtful and insightful exploration of the role of the church in the lives of believers, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and theology of the Anglican tradition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
