Modern Christianity: A Civilized Heathenism (1875)

By H. W. Pullen and Henry William Pullen

Book Overview

Modern Christianity: A Civilized Heathenism is a book written by H.W. Pullen in 1875. The book is a critical analysis of the contemporary state of Christianity, arguing that it has become a ""civilized heathenism"" - a religion that has lost its true essence and become a mere shadow of its former self. Pullen suggests that modern Christianity has become too focused on external forms and rituals, rather than on the internal spiritual experience that should be at the heart of the faith. He argues that this has led to a decline in the moral and ethical standards of Christians, and that the church has become too closely aligned with the state and the interests of the ruling class. Pullen's book is a call to return to the true spirit of Christianity, and to reject the superficiality and materialism that has come to dominate the faith in modern times. It is a thought-provoking and challenging work that remains relevant to contemporary debates about the role of religion in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
