Bishop Of London's Three Pastoral Letters (1732)

The Bishop of London's Three Pastoral Letters is a collection of three letters written by Edmund Gibson, who served as the Bishop of London from 1723 to 1748. The letters were originally published in 1732 and were intended to provide guidance and instruction to the clergy and laity of the Church of England. The first letter, addressed to the clergy, discusses the importance of preaching and the role of the clergy in promoting piety and morality among their congregations. The second letter, addressed to the laity, focuses on the importance of personal piety and the need to live a virtuous life. The third letter, addressed to both clergy and laity, discusses the importance of the sacraments and the role they play in the spiritual life of the Church.Throughout the letters, Gibson emphasizes the importance of the Church of England as a means of promoting moral and spiritual values in society. He also addresses various controversies and debates within the Church, including the role of reason and tradition in religious belief, the nature of the sacraments, and the importance of adherence to Church doctrine.Overall, The Bishop of London's Three Pastoral Letters provides a valuable insight into the religious and moral values of 18th century England, as well as the role of the Church of England in promoting those values.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
