Excerpt from The Revival of Religion in England in the Eighteenth Century Charles Kingsley, in his Village Sermons, affirms that the Bible says hardly anything about religion, that it never praises religious people. It talks of God, and tells us not to be religious, but to be godly. He points out that it speaks of 'a religious man only once, and of religion only twice, except where it speaks of the Jews' religion to condemn it, and shows what an empty, blind, useless thing it was.' Kingsley's statement has that touch of exaggeration in it which attracts attention, but there can be no doubt that the distinction he indicates exists, and it is essential that we should remember it. Especially must it be borne in mind when dealing with the subject of the 'Revival of Religion.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
