A man of strong conviction and faith, William Wilberforce shook England’s contented Christians from their spiritual slumber with the publication of A Practical View of the Prevailing Religious System of Professed Christians. After recounting his own finding of Christ and the impact it made in his life, Wilberforce’s book confronts his fellow countrymen as “nominal” Christians, complacent in being Christian in name only. By accepting the Christian creed, but failing to live the Christian life, the spiritual foundation of English society was rotting away at its core. Wilberforce’s influential book challenged readers to center their life, both public and private, on Christ’s redeeming work and teachings.
An instant classic upon its publishing, this best seller has been inspiring Christians for over two hundred years. Wilberforce’s powerful A Practical View of the Prevailing Religious System of Professed Christians is needed today more than ever, and with Logos Bible Software, this book is completely searchable, with passages of Scripture appearing on mouse-over.
