By Henry James Sr.

Book Overview

The Old and New Theology is a book written by Henry James in 1861. It consists of two lectures and a letter of remonstrance to a member of the 801-Disant New Church. In the first lecture, James discusses the differences between the old and new theology, focusing on the changes in religious beliefs and practices over time. He argues that while the old theology was based on tradition and authority, the new theology is more rational and scientific. In the second lecture, James explores the concept of the Church of Christ and argues that it is not an ecclesiasticism, but rather a spiritual community of believers. Finally, in the letter of remonstrance, James expresses his disagreement with a member of the 801-Disant New Church, challenging their beliefs and practices. The book provides a fascinating insight into the religious debates of the 19th century and the changing attitudes towards theology and spirituality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
