Excerpt from The Two Rectors
Men are constituted with minds and feelings so diversified, their views so various, and their conceptions so dif ferent, that an attempt to bring them to any thing like a general uniformity of opinion must be abortive; at the same time, much may be done towards it by a sound discretion and judgment, and more, by the exercise of temper and modesty. It is only sufficient to look into the religious annals of any country, whose history is extant, to be persuaded how utterly impracticable it is to force conviction upon the minds of the com.

Excerpt from The Two Rectors
As no subject is so important, so none is, naturally, so liable to create dissension, as Religion. The feelings of the heart, when once earnestly engaged in it, are so warmed by its radiance, so attuned to its high-toned promises, that the bare suggestion of error in the grounds upon which it has been embraced, is sufficient either to chill them into uncharitableness, or to kindle them into resentment; and it is only by the benign influence of the Gospel, that these opposite, natural propensities are to be repressed, in those who aim to separate truth from error in the sacred cause.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores a myriad of topics through the lens of religion, including the impact of religious and irreligious writing and the role of religious devotion in daily life.

Along the way, readers will find stimulating arguments on morality and ethics, as well as ideas for cultivating a meaningful spiritual life in an increasingly secular world. Informed by a lifetime of experience and faith, the author invites readers to consider not only what they believe, but also why they believe it, and to question how their beliefs influence their actions and the world around them.
