Plea For A Simpler Faith is a book written by George Skene Keith and published in 1897. The book is a call for a return to a simpler, more authentic form of Christianity, free from the complexities and divisions that had arisen in the church over time.Keith argues that the church had become too focused on doctrine and dogma, and had lost sight of the fundamental teachings of Jesus Christ. He advocates for a return to a more personal and experiential faith, based on a direct relationship with God and a commitment to living a moral and ethical life.Throughout the book, Keith draws on his own experiences as a minister and theologian to illustrate his points, and he quotes extensively from the Bible to support his arguments. He also addresses some of the criticisms that had been leveled against his ideas, and offers a rebuttal to those who had accused him of promoting a watered-down version of Christianity.Overall, Plea For A Simpler Faith is a passionate and thought-provoking work that challenges readers to reconsider their beliefs and embrace a more authentic form of Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
