Produktbeschreibung

In "Letters to the Clergy on the Lord's Prayer and the Church," John Ruskin presents a profound exploration of spirituality, morality, and the interrelation between faith and practice. Written in a clear yet eloquent style, this collection of letters emerges from Ruskin's deep concern for the ethical implications of religious service during the Victorian era. His argument is interlaced with artful prose and philosophical insights, making it as much a work of literary art as a theological treatise. Engaging both the heart and intellect, Ruskin encourages clergy to re-examine their roles in embodying the teachings of the Lord'Äôs Prayer within the broader context of the Church'Äôs mission.

This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersections of faith, ethics, and social justice. Ruskin'Äôs letters not only provoke thoughtful reflection on one'Äôs spiritual journey but also offer practical insights for contemporary clergy and laypeople alike. Dive into this seminal work and discover the timeless relevance of Ruskin's call to a more engaged and compassionate faith.

Autorenporträt

John Ruskin was an English writer, philosopher, art critic, and polymath during the Victorian era. He lived from 8 February 1819 to 20 January 1900. He published on a wide range of topics, including political economy, myth, ornithology, literature, education, and geology. Ruskin was very interested in Viollet le Duc's work, especially his Dictionary, which he regarded to be "the only book of any value on architecture." He taught it to all of his students, including William Morris. Ruskin used a variety of literary genres and writing styles. In addition to articles and treatises, he also published poems, lectures, travel instructions, correspondence, and even a fairy tale. Additionally, he created in-depth drawings and paintings of decorations, landscapes, birds, plants, and rocks. His early writings on art were written in an ornate style that eventually gave way to simpler language that served to better convey his ideas. He highlighted the links between nature, art, and society in all of his writing.
