A Gentleman's Religion: In Three Parts

By Edward Synge

Book Overview

A Gentleman's Religion: In Three Parts is a book written by Edward Synge and first published in 1726. The book is divided into three parts, each of which explores different aspects of what it means to be a gentleman and how religion can play a role in shaping one's character.In the first part, Synge argues that being a gentleman is not just about one's social status or wealth, but also about one's moral character. He suggests that a true gentleman should be honest, kind, and virtuous, and that religion can help to cultivate these qualities.The second part of the book delves into the specific religious beliefs and practices that Synge believes are most important for a gentleman to follow. He emphasizes the importance of prayer, regular attendance at church, and living a life of piety and devotion.Finally, in the third part of the book, Synge explores the relationship between religion and politics. He argues that a gentleman should be actively involved in political affairs, but that his actions should be guided by his religious beliefs and a commitment to justice and fairness.Overall, A Gentleman's Religion: In Three Parts offers a compelling argument for the importance of religion in shaping one's character and guiding one's actions, particularly for those who aspire to be true gentlemen.Contains The Principles Of Natural Religion, And The Doctrines Of Christianity, Both As To Faith And Practice, With An Appendix.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
