This highly rewarding work goes back to a time when theological
discussion was not considered "heavy." It contains an inspirational
treatment of the subject of conversion, and sees faith as creating
fresh possibilities that can lead to great accomplishments. In
modest, inspiring, but still powerful language, it puts forward
many important ideas using a sensible, logical plan that helps the
individual interact with God in his new-found spiritual life. As
the title suggests, The New Birth views the concept of conversion
as a momentous, singular event. Austin Phelps discusses the subject
in relation to the subjects of guilt, self-respect, ritual, laws,
mysticism, regeneration, the power of truth, the role of the
preacher, and personal responsibility. Phelps strikes just the
right balance of advice, admonition, dogma and social commentary.
His writing is almost poetic, yet it is also steady, careful,
straightforward and compelling. Although Phelps saw great value in
the spreading of ideas through preaching, he perceived this form of
address as more than a lecture; indeed, it was a kind of
conversation, where people could stop to think, ask questions, and
proceed to learn further. The author understood that the
profundities of Christianity could not be laid out in a simple
sermon; they need to be expounded upon with a great diligence and
earnestness, in direct language that does not trivialize, but still
maintains the purity of the fundamental concept.
