About This Book

An Anglican clergyman addresses the Church's duty to bear witness to divine truth, invoking biblical examples of Israel's failure to warn against adapting doctrine to popular demands. He critiques the blending of sacred teaching with worldly standards, examines the moral and political implications of a government religious census, questions the trend to treat faith as purely private, and urges clergy and laity to preserve public confession and steadfastness in doctrine.
