Publisher's Synopsis
""The Best Pew in the Church: A Tract for the Times"" is a book written in 1841 by an anonymous author who refers to themselves as ""One Who Sits in It."" The book is a critique of the church and its congregation, specifically focusing on the idea of social hierarchy and the importance of one's position within the church. The author argues that the desire to sit in the best pew in the church is a symbol of the larger societal issue of classism and the desire for status. The author also discusses the hypocrisy of those who claim to be devout Christians but prioritize their social status over their faith. The book is a call to action for Christians to prioritize their spiritual growth and to reject the societal pressures of status and hierarchy. Overall, ""The Best Pew in the Church"" is a thought-provoking analysis of the intersection of faith and social class.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
