Charges And Other Tracts (1836)

""Charges and Other Tracts"" is a collection of essays and speeches written by Richard Whately, an influential theologian and philosopher in the 19th century. The book was originally published in 1836 and contains a series of charges, or formal statements of accusation or indictment, that Whately delivered to various groups within the Church of England. The charges cover a range of topics, including the importance of preaching, the role of the clergy in society, and the need for reform within the Church. In addition to the charges, the book also includes several other tracts, or short essays, on subjects such as education, logic, and political economy.Throughout the book, Whately's writing is characterized by his clear and concise style, as well as his commitment to rational inquiry and logical argumentation. He argues for the importance of reason and evidence in all areas of life, including religion, and emphasizes the need for individuals to think critically and independently.Overall, ""Charges and Other Tracts"" provides a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual and theological world of 19th-century England, as well as valuable insights into the ongoing debates and controversies within the Church of England during that time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
