The Seeming Unreality of the Spiritual Life

""The Seeming Unreality of the Spiritual Life"" is a thought-provoking book written by Henry Churchill King, a prominent American theologian and philosopher. In this book, King explores the concept of spirituality and the challenges that arise in trying to live a spiritual life in the modern world. He argues that the spiritual life can often seem unreal or disconnected from the realities of everyday life, but that this is only an illusion. King draws on his deep knowledge of Christian theology and philosophy to offer insights into the nature of spirituality and how it can be cultivated in a meaningful way. He also addresses common misconceptions about spirituality and offers practical advice for those seeking to deepen their spiritual lives. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the spiritual dimension of life and finding greater meaning and purpose in their existence.1908.

Prominent in the councils of the Congregational Church, he was moderator of its National Council and chairman of the Congregational Foundation for Education. This book of King's aims to face, as straightforwardly as may be, the problem implied in its title. It seeks to speak directly, as frankly and simply as possible, and yet with some adequacy, to the fundamental religious need of men, to the need of all who cherish ideals of any kind.
