Publisher's Synopsis
The Decay of Modern Preaching: An Essay is a book written by John Pentland Mahaffy in 1882. This essay discusses the decline in the quality of preaching in modern times, particularly in the Church of England. Mahaffy argues that preaching has lost its power to inspire and educate congregations, and has become too focused on formalities and empty rhetoric. He suggests that preachers should return to the fundamentals of their faith and focus on delivering meaningful messages that will resonate with their audiences. The book is a critique of the state of preaching in the late 19th century, and offers insights into the challenges faced by religious leaders in communicating their message effectively. The Decay of Modern Preaching remains a relevant and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the history of preaching and religious communication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
