VG orig. maroon cloth, spine ends lt. rubbed. Endpapers cracking. xxiii, 199 p.; 22.5 cm. (Bampton lectures ; 1907) [First printed in 1907] Contents: Lecture I The facts -- II The historic basis of Christian belief -- III The spiritual need of humanity -- IV War and trade -- V Social questions -- VI Anarchy not the cure -- VII Christianity a revolutionary force -- VIII Some practical considerations. -- From the preface: `I believe that the Church stands even now at the parting of the ways; that, humanly speaking, the next few years will decide whether it is to shrink into a pietistic sect, or spread and develop, until it is actually the English people viewed in its relation to God. And I am not afraid to add that upon the Church of England, pre-eminently among religious bodies, lies the responsibility of making the great venture, or the great refusal. In making his claim, I think I am not inspired by any narrow spirit of party. If I regard the Church of England as the appointed instrument of God for this end, it is not on account of its established position, its wealth, or its social influence; but because, with all its shortcomings, it has never lost the essential belief in the Church Catholic. But the event alone can justify or condemn the Church; and the issue lies in the hands, not of the few, but of the many, the rank and file of Christians, lay and cleric.'
