Sinopsis

Excerpt from Practical Christianity

We do not mean to imply in the title of this book that there are two kinds of Christianity, - one kind which is "practical" and one that is not. We simply mean that this book does not deal with speculative problems, but with the facts of life.

It is said of Socrates that he brought philosophy down out of the heavens to the earth. The statement means that Socrates abandoned the fruitless speculations of the early Greek philosophers concerning the origin of the universe and the constitution of the heavens and the earth, and sought instead for a practical method of life. How can a man realize in his own life the highest Good? This is the all important question with him.

In a much truer sense Jesus Christ brought religion out of the heavens to the earth.

Excerpt from Practical Christianity

Christianity is not Christianity until it is applied to life. It cannot be reduced to a bloodless theory, an abstract scheme any more than a pressed flower can be a genuine violet. It must not stop short of its purpose, which is, as a Vital force, to reconstruct man and society and to work out as a fact the spirit of Jesus Christ in the individual, and in the social organism. One may almost take as Christ's final message his own great Words, Know the Truth and Do the Truth. The two go together, and together they complete the cir cuit, for the truth can never be completely known except through a practice lof it in'the process of life.
