The Autobiography of Mark Rutherford, Dissenting Minister (Classic Reprint): Edited by His Friend Reuben Shapcott: Edited by His Friend Reuben Shapcott (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book is a collection of autobiographical and philosophical musings from a Dissenting minister looking back upon his life and coming to terms with the meaning of his faith and personal experience. The author was brought up in a strict religious environment and was trained for the ministry. He was sent to a religious college where the teachings filled him with doubts. When he graduated and began to lead his own congregation, he found that his faith did not match up to the expectations of his role or the needs of his congregation. The book explores the author's disillusionment with organized religion and his search for deeper meaning in life, through a process of questioning, self-reflection, and the expansion of his own personal philosophy. The author had a life-long interest in literature and began to find more meaning and solace in the works of poets such as Wordsworth than in the doctrines of his church. The book provides a fascinating insight into the life of a religious man grappling with his faith, moving from the rigid doctrines of his youth to a more personal and meaningful understanding of God and the world. It will especially appeal to readers interested in religious history and the evolution of personal belief.
