New
series starting next
Yes,
I am giving my morals blogs a rest for a while.
Instead
I am going to post my condensed and modern language “translation”
of a really great book on Christianity – which which seems to me to
speak to the problem we face in Western Christianity much today as it
did when it was first written in 1779.
The
book is by the great anti-slavery campaigner in England from the
1770's to the 1820's: William Wilberforce.
PS
If you don't know about Wilberforce you should watch a DVD of the
blockbuster film “Amazing Grace”
You
will guess why I am condensing his book and trying to put it into
modern English (except for some short extracts) when I tell you its
title:
“A
Practical View of the Prevailing Religious System of Professed
Christians, In the Middle and Higher Classes in this Country,
Contrasted with Real Christianity”
London 1779
