Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Christian Program
The answer to the first question he gives in his creed. This may be anything, the baldest materialism, the most seductive pantheism, or the most reverent Chris tian Theism. It will yet be his creed because it answers the first question. It might seem consistent to say that the answer to the second question is his system of ethics. But for the purpose of life, systems of ethics are too abstract, too unreal, too extended, and therefore they find their place in dry volumes on library Shelves and not in human lives. It will be more cor rect to say that he answers the second question in his program of life.

Excerpt from The Christian Program
The religious man is continually asking two questions. The first is, What kind of a world am I living in? the second, What kind of a life shall I live? To these he is impelled by an instinct as deep as the soul and as wide as the race. This instinct assures him that the world of clod and cloud, of matter and motion, which his senses reveal is not the only world or the real world, and that life is more than the satisfaction of his bodily appetites and the exercise of his bodily powers. Hence come these questions about the world and life.
The answer to the first question he gives in his creed. This may be anything, the baldest materialism, the most seductive pantheism, or the most reverent Christian Theism. It will yet be his creed because it answers the first question. It might seem consistent to say that the answer to the second question is his system of ethics. But for the purpose of life, systems of ethics are too abstract, too unreal, too extended, and therefore they find their place in dry volumes on library shelves and not in human lives. It will be more correct to say that he answers the second question in his program of life.

The Christian Program (Classic Reprint)
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 4 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the relevance of a universalistic Methodist program for Christian life as conceived by the author. The author argues that Methodism, as a revival movement, was not primarily concerned with establishing a denomination or creating a new creed but rather with re-emphasizing the importance of a well-defined Christian program in daily life. This program, consisting of principles such as harmlessness, unworldliness, humaneness, aggressiveness, and devoutness, is presented as not only consistent with Christian teachings but also applicable to all humanity irrespective of religious affiliation. The author contends that a Christian program that encompasses these principles provides a comprehensive and effective approach to living a purposeful and ethical life, especially in the face of contemporary challenges. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330184806_0
