Medieval historian G. G. Coulton relinquished his own holy orders
in 1885 but remained firmly engaged with Christianity. This 1919
collection of lectures is a radical and impassioned discussion of
how Christianity must change to meet the needs of post-war society
as soldiers return from the trenches. Drawing parallels between the
lives of Jesus Christ and St Francis of Assisi, Coulton highlights
how ambiguities in the surviving accounts of both men have diverted
the original course of their ministry and, with it, the objectives
and outlook of the church. The author also takes on the weaknesses
in both Catholic and agnostic arguments and advocates a simplifying
and democratisation of Christianity and the resolving of
denominational differences. Included alongside the lectures is the
author's comprehensive response to a number of questions raised by
the original lecture series which provides a useful conclusion to
the controversial anti-Catholic's plea for religious modernisation.
