📖 ""The lectures--and this book--are intended only for those who are inclined to feel a 'concern' for the present crisis of Society and of the Church. The aim is missed if the hearer or reader retains the aloof attitude of a spectator, and does not come to realize that the crisis is his personal concern, the crisis of the individual."" --From the prefaceWalter Lowrie (1868-1959) was an Episcopalian minister and theologian. He was a minister in several churches throughout New England, in addition to serving as rector of St. Paul's American Church in Rome for over two decades. Lowrie is best known for his biography and translations of Kierkegaard.
