Synopsis
Excerpt from The Radical, Vol. 5
When, accordingly, in the Fourth Gospel, he is represented as praying that all his followers may be one, it is not unity of Spirit, in the best sense now given the words that is meant but, as is added at once in explanation, as we - God and himself are one, I in them, and thou in me. The unity is not of free, practical humanity as such, but of faith in the Christ. When Paul speaks of unity of the spirit, this is what he means by the term. He had no idea of it outside confessorship of his second Adam, the man Jesus from above. And the ground of this limitation lay in the exclusive claims that had been entered by the new Master. Doubtless, they were natural to the time, as well as to the spiritual isolation, the genius and education of Jesus; and hence the ease with which they served the idealizing tendencies that awaited them. But other teachers in that age, and prophets stirred by a pure spontaneity in earlier ages, had trusted eternal truth to its own authority. And it is forever true that the noblest form of spiritual affirmation is not that in which the teacher puts himself in the foreground, but that in which he hides behind the divinity of his message. And the results we are about to con template must always follow the inferior method, whatsoever nobility of character may tend to counteract its effects on the teacher or the taught.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This collection of works by celebrated orator William Johnson Fox brings together a significant body of writing that played a pivotal role in shaping religious and political thought in 19th-century England. Fox, a self-educated weaver's son who rose to prominence as a Unitarian minister and later a Member of Parliament, was a fearless advocate for social justice and a staunch critic of the established order. His writings, characterized by their eloquence and erudition, explore a wide range of topics, from the nature of religious belief to the evils of class inequality. Fox's powerful arguments against the corn laws helped pave the way for their eventual repeal, while his advocacy for secular education laid the groundwork for significant reforms in the British educational system. This comprehensive collection offers a valuable insight into the life and work of a remarkable figure whose ideas continue to resonate in the present day.
