Beskrivelse af A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life
""A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life"" is a Christian devotional book written by William Law, a prominent Anglican priest and theologian, in 1728. The book is a call to live a life of devotion and holiness, and it emphasizes the importance of personal piety, prayer, and obedience to God's will. Law argues that the Christian life should be characterized by a deep sense of reverence and awe for God, and that true holiness requires a complete surrender of one's will to God's purposes. The book is divided into 21 chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the Christian life, including humility, self-denial, prayer, and the pursuit of virtue. Law's writing is characterized by its clarity and simplicity, and his arguments are grounded in scripture and the teachings of the early church fathers. ""A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life"" has been widely read and influential in Christian circles for over 250 years, and it remains a powerful call to live a life of faith and devotion today.William Law was a kind and gentle soul who clearly perceived the mystic oneness of all existences. His writings should be read by any mystic. More than simply articulating a set of rules to live by A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life examines what it means to lead a Christian life and criticizes the perversion of Christian tenants by the Establishment, whether secular or spiritual-whose real aim is temporal power.
