This book is a reprint of key sermons by Rev. Charles Strong who founded the Australian Church in 1885 after being accused of heresy relating to the atonement. Strong was a pioneer progressive, outlining an understanding of the Christian religion that was a hundred years ahead of the current progressive Christian movement in Australia. His goal, he said, was to Re-interpret Christianity in the light of modern knowledge, the principles of development, and the spirit of religion as distinguished from the letter; to re-interpret Christianity just as Copernicus and Galileo re-interpreted astronomy. Strong's focus was on knowing the Spirit as a universal all-animating Spirit, an eternal and deep dimension of reality within humans as well as nature. The Kingdom of God is really the Kingdom of Love; love is the force of God at work in humans to change society. This volume reprints five sermons published originally in 1894, sermons which re ect his progressive approach to spirituality and faith. Norman Habel has done more than anyone else to keep the courage, honesty, and scholarship of 19th century 'progressive' Charles Strong before the public. Thanks to this important edited collection of some of Strong's sermons his task has now become much easier. May it be widely read and appreciated... Rex A E Hunt Author and Founding Director, The Centre for Progressive Religious Thought, Canberra Norman Habel is a Professorial Fellow at Flinders University. He has a Wendish Lutheran background and has long been exploring the boundaries of his faith in the context of the Lutheran Church. These boundaries relate to interpretation of the Bible, the spirituality of Aboriginal peoples, the mystery of ecology and the Book of Nature. He has published studies in all of these areas. Norman Habel is chair of the Charles Strong Memorial Trust.

Excerpt from The Religion of Christ: An Interpretation The position taken in the book is, of course, frankly ethical, and as such in a large sense non sacramentarian. The character ideal in Christianity is regarded as the essential thing first, last, and-all of the time. Room is left for the mystical and spiritual element, but it is frankly recognized that the ethical ideal of Jesus, as embodied in practical living, is the one ultimate test of Christianity. The necessity for formal religion is fully conceded, as is the value of formal correctness in our interpreta tion of the teaching of Christ, but this formal ele ment is never exalted to a place where it supersedes the vital. Christian character is bigger than the Christian Church, big as the latter is. The church exists only to produce character, and, failing in this, is valueless either to the individual or to society. Herein lies a great warning for the church. When ever she ceases to inspire high and noble ideals in her members, she is already on the high road to decay. As the author of the Apocalypse puts it, she must repent and do her first works or else her candlestick will be taken out of its place.

Wilfred Cantwell Smith, maintained in this vastly important work that Westerners have misperceived religious life by making "religion" into one thing. He shows the inadequacy of "religion" to capture the living, endlessly variable ways and traditions in which religious faith presents itself in the world.

Excerpt from The Religion of Christ: An Interpretation This book is intended to present a rounded and balanced interpretation of the Christian religion. In the dual division of vital and formal Christianity many perplexing problems are, we believe, adequately solved. The division of vital Christianity into its ethical and its mystical features, grouped under the captions, "The Here and Now" and "The Hereafter," is readily recognized as both logical and comprehensive. There may be some difference of opinion in regard to the specification of Righteousness, Service and Freedom as the three supreme ideals of Jesus. Perhaps the majority of present-day authorities would comprehend the subject under the dual division of Righteousness and Service, the one as representing the individual and the other the social goal. And yet Freedom, as a necessary condition of both Righteousness and Service, and as representing the principle most often violated by theologians and churchmen, deserves, we feel sure, a place of its own. There may be some readers who will take exception to the unique position accorded Christ in moral and religious history. Certain it is that the Hebrew prophets, especially Isaiah and Micah, possessed the ethical view of religion quite as fully as did Jesus himself. Socrates also, and divers other teachers of the ancient world, taught the same exalted ideal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
