Idols and Ideals: With an Essay on Christianity (1877)

Idols and Ideals is a book written by Moncure Daniel Conway in 1877. The book is a collection of essays that explore the concept of idols and ideals in society. Conway examines the ways in which people create and worship idols, which he defines as anything that is given more importance than it deserves. He argues that idols can take many forms, such as money, power, and fame, and that they often lead people astray from their true ideals.In addition to his exploration of idols, Conway also includes an essay on Christianity. In this essay, he examines the teachings of Jesus Christ and their relevance to modern society. He argues that Christianity is not just a religion, but a way of life that can help people to live more meaningful and fulfilling lives.Throughout the book, Conway uses examples from history, literature, and philosophy to illustrate his points. He also draws on his own experiences as a preacher and social reformer to provide insights into the human condition. Idols and Ideals is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to question their own beliefs and values.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
