Synopsis
Excerpt from Faith and Action One thing surely is true of Frederick Maurice - that all which he wrote was meant to bring light and help to men. It is not, then, too much to hope that such a collection of extracts from his writings as has here been made by one who is intelligently and deeply interested in them, will find a cordial welcome and a large opportunity of usefulness. All who have read the very interesting life of Maurice which his son has given us, know how full his days were of controversy. But they know also how far he was from being of a controversial spirit. Now that the controversies have passed away, the spirit of one of the greatest souls in the whole history of English religion may be clearly seen and felt. He who was so brave was very gentle. He who threw himself with such intrepid earnestness into every moral and religious and political question of his day, lived all the time in the profoundest thoughts and truths which belong to all times because they belong to all time and have the Eternity of God. Maurice believed in God with all his soul - not as so many of us believe in Him as an Explanation of the Universe or as the necessary Condition of all thought - but as the very Life of Life - as the Being which was and is and is to come - as the Element in whom we live and move and have our being. Believing thus in God, there could be for him no dislocation of the present from the future or the past. The Eternal was here now.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a stirring invitation to reflect deeply on the nature of our existence and how, as individuals, we each have a vital role to play in shaping a just and harmonious society. The author, a renowned theologian, explores the profound teachings of Frederick Maurice, a 19th-century pioneer of Christian socialism, to illuminate how faith should inspire action in the pursuit of a better world.
