Excerpt from On Prayers to the DeadSupply the need of scholars, as the book list at the beginning of this volume will show. There are also brief tracts to supply a cer tain sort of popular demand. My ambition has been to produce a book which should pre sent the essentials oi my subject, and at the same time so present them as to attract, not the clergy, but the laity. Such a book, I conceive, should be clear, brief, and not cum bered with technicalities. My humble posi tion is that of a popularizer, attempting to reach a public which is not much given to theological reading. We of the clergy are apt to blame the laity because they do not do as much theological reading as we think they ought, and then we do not take pains to provide them with books which they can read with ease and profit. Here is an at tempt in one department of theology whether success or failure time will show.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
