Excerpt from The Position of the Anglican Church, and the Work That Is Before Her: Being a Collection of Occasional Sermons on the More Important Topics of the Present Day
Now in the words of our text a case is brought before us, in which a certain man says, One thing have I desired of the Lord that will I seek after and the first point that Obviously suggests itself for our consideration, is this whether the desire here expressed for one thing, and one thing only, arise from an indifference to all things else; or from an exceedingly high value set upon that one thing; or from both these causes put together. In order that we may arrive at a right conclusion upon this question, it will be necessary for us to ask who it is that says, One thing have I desired of the Lord that will I seek after.

Excerpt from The Position of the Anglican Church, and the Work That Is Before Her: Being a Collection of Occasional Sermons on the More Important Topics of the Present Day
"One thing have I desired of the Lord; that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life; to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple."
If we see any one pursue a single object with such exclusive attention and desire, that all other objects are neglected by him as matters of indifference, we naturally conclude, either that he has been led to form an exceedingly low estimate of those things which he passes by as worthless, or else that he has discovered in the object he exclusively pursues such surpassing excellency, as to render all others, whatever value they might have in themselves, yet valueless in comparison with the one great prize, which to gain he is willing to sacrifice all else. Either one or other of these two causes will produce the same result, - exclusive attention to and pursuit of one object, to the neglect of all others. But it may happen, moreover, that both these causes may come together; a man may feel concerning all things save one, that they are not in themselves worth seeking after, and at the same time he may attribute to one thing, and one thing only, so exceedingly high a value, that he will account no effort too great to be made, and no price too dear to be paid, for its attainment.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of the doctrines, controversies, and Christian life within the Church of England in the Victorian era. Through his collection of sermons and writings, the author, reflecting on the state of his Church, offers illuminating insights into the issues that challenged the doctrine and spiritual integrity of the Church of England at a time of significant social, political, and religious change. These issues included the impact of philosophy on Christian teachings, the Tractarian controversy, and the nature of Christian education, with the author arguing for a restoration of early Church doctrine and practice. The author seeks to ground Christian doctrine in the teachings of the Apostles, the Councils, and the early Fathers, which he believed were now being compromised by modern thought and feeling. The book is an important contribution to the theological thought of the Victorian era, particularly the Oxford Movement, and remains a stimulating and provocative read for those interested in the history of the Church of England, or the relationship between ancient doctrine and modern practice.
