Excerpt from Christus in Ecclesia: Sermons on the Church and Its InstitutionsHE sermons comprised in the present volume were preached for the most part in the Chapel of Lincoln's Inn in the course of the five years during which I held the office of Preacher to that Society. Some of them have also been delivered in various Parish churches or College chapels. The volume may be considered to some extent a supplement to, or continuation of, the volume entitled Doctrine and Development, but in sermons limited to some five and twenty minutes it has not been possible to aim at the comparative fulness of treatment which is allowable in a University pulpit, and the theological questions dealt with are for the most part of a less fundamea order. Their object is to explain in a rational manner what has sometimes been called the institutional side of Christianity. There is a widely spread assumption - sometimes made by its friends, more often by its critics and opponents - that liberal Theology necessarily leads to a negligent or disrespectful attitude towards all external expressions of the religious life, if not to the religious life itself, at least on its devotional side.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
