Ithuriel's Spear: Or Is This Christianity? (1867)

By Henry Shepheard

Book Overview

Ithuriel's Spear: Or Is This Christianity? is a book written by Henry Shepheard and published in 1867. The book explores the question of what true Christianity is and how it should be practiced. Shepheard argues that many of the practices and beliefs commonly associated with Christianity are not actually in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Bible. He uses the metaphor of Ithuriel's Spear, a tool used in John Milton's Paradise Lost to reveal the true nature of things, to illustrate his point. Shepheard also critiques the institutionalization of religion and the role of the Church in shaping people's beliefs. The book is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of Christianity and its place in modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
