""The Gospel and Human Needs"" is a book that contains a series of lectures delivered by John Neville Figgis before the University of Cambridge in 1908-1909. The book was first published in 1911. The lectures were given as part of the Hulsean Lectures, which are a series of lectures delivered annually at Cambridge on topics related to Christian theology. In this book, Figgis explores the relationship between the Gospel and human needs. He argues that the Gospel is not just a set of abstract theological doctrines, but is also a message that addresses the practical needs of human beings. Figgis examines various aspects of human life, such as social and economic conditions, and shows how the Gospel provides guidance and hope in these areas. The book is divided into six chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the relationship between the Gospel and human needs. The first chapter examines the social context in which the Gospel was first preached, and shows how the message of the Gospel addressed the needs of the people of that time. The second chapter looks at the economic conditions of the time, and shows how the Gospel provided a critique of the prevailing economic system. The third chapter examines the issue of sin and redemption, and shows how the Gospel provides a solution to the problem of human sinfulness. The fourth chapter looks at the role of the Church in society, and shows how the Gospel provides a basis for social action. The fifth chapter examines the relationship between the Gospel and culture, and shows how the Gospel can provide a critique of cultural values and practices. The final chapter of the book looks at the future of the Gospel, and shows how it can continue to address the needs of human beings in the modern world. Throughout the book, Figgis emphasizes the practical relevance of the Gospel, and shows how it can provide guidance and hope in the midst of the challenges of human life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Cambridge scholar and political philosopher John Neville Figgis examines how ideas concerning politics and religion changed during the Renaissance.Drawing on a range of pertinent texts from a period spanning over two centuries, Figgis examines how some of the finest scholars of the Renaissance era established and refined their ideas. In the earlier part of the period, politics was deeply intertwined with the Catholic Church and the authority of the Pope. Later on, the upheaval of the Reformation resulted in a dramatic surge of ideas, changing forever how the rule of a given monarch was connected with Christendom.By the 17th century, the controversial notion of the divine, God-given right of kings to rule had emerged. As Figgis recalls, the notion met with opposition and eventual revolt in the Netherlands; the deposing of the Dutch monarch sent shockwaves through Europe, and foresaw the beginnings of the Enlightenment era.

What results is an engrossing narrative, tracing the origins of Europe's religious, political and monarchic crises to ideas expounded by various thinkers. The gradual shifts of authority from the centralized church, to the monarch, and finally to the proto-Republican movements of nations, are shown to be rooted in scholarly ideas.
