Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Idea of the Church: Aspects, Forms, Activities
That which is familiar is not necessarily, nor even usually, well known. It is likely to be re garded as a matter of course, exciting none of that Wonder which, in wise Lord Bacon's phrase, is the seed of knowledge. Yet there is nothing that needs to be pondered more intently than the commonplace. Of measureless unappreciated worth is many an object which lies open, in its external features, before everybody's eyes from morning to evening and from day to day.
Such an object may be a Divine institution powerfully affecting one's own life and happiness, and of immense world-wide significance. It may be the Church of God.
