Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Study of Christianity as Organized: Its Ideas and Forms
In a study of Christianity, however, organization would not be generally chosen as its most attractive aspect. It has too much the appearance of legal mechanism. Also, it has provoked a great deal of discreditable controversy - ih this respect standing by no means alone - and may seem to tend practically to division rather than unity in the Christian world. No wonder, then, that certain sincere minds should be dis posed to pass by such a theme with a very moderate amount of attention. Yet in point of fact it is full-laden with interest and significance. If the reader find it otherwise, the fault will be the writer's - or possibly his own. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
