Christianity a Spirit (Classic Reprint): Discourse Delivered at the Ordination of William J. Potter as Pastor Over the First Congregational Church and Society in New Bedford, Dec. 28, 1859 - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
This book presents a compelling interpretation of the Christian religion, arguing that at its core it is not a theology or a form of worship but rather a spirit of filiality breathed into humans by God. The author contends that this view of religion is essential to understanding the revolutionary and inclusive nature of Jesus' teachings. The book draws on the author's extensive knowledge of Christian history and theology to provide a fresh perspective on the nature of Christianity. It argues that the emphasis on theology and dogma has led to divisions and conflicts within the Christian community and has obscured the true spirit of the religion. Instead, the author proposes a return to the original spirit of Christianity, which is characterized by love, compassion, and a deep sense of connection to God as a father. The book offers a thought-provoking and deeply personal exploration of the nature of Christianity and its relevance to our lives today and will appeal to anyone interested in exploring the spiritual dimensions of human existence.

Excerpt from Christianity a Spirit: Discourse Delivered at the Ordination of William J. Potter as Pastor Over the First Congregational Church and Society in New Bedford, Dec. 28, 1859
I wish we might perceive this clearly now and always, that Religion, in the Christian sense Of it, is not a form of thought capable of verbal expres sion. It is a spirit; and when I call it a Spirit, I use the word in its popular signification as a dispo sitiou, or habitual temper, or pervading tone Of feeling. And I say that Christianity is a filial spirit, the spirit Of a Son, illustrated most impressively in the life of him who did all the great things he was moved to do as so many filial offices, and as himself standing to 'the Highest In the relation of a Son and all who desire to know what Christianity is, can Obtain the desired knowledge, only through the same spirit, through an active sympathy with the Son as a Son.

Excerpt from Christianity a Spirit: Discourse Delivered at the Ordination of William J. Potter as Pastor Over the First Congregational Church and Society in New Bedford, Dec. 28, 1859
MY friends, I am at a loss to know how a more complete account can be given in a few words of the Religion Of the New Testament than We have here. In this brief sentence we have a statement Of the source and the substance Of the Whole matter. It is from God; God sends it into the hearts of men. And it is a spirit, the spirit of a Son; in other words, a Filial Spirit breathed into men by God.
