Religious Perplexities

by L.P. Jacks

Philosopher and Unitarian minister L.P. Jacks rose to prominence in the United Kingdom as a lecturer and educator following World War I. The substance of this book was originally delivered in the form of two lectures given at the invitation of the Hibbert Trustees in Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, and Birmingham (England) during March and April, 1922. Reverend Jacks cuts through many of the arguments and "isms" that afflict Christianity and exposes core questions -- "perplexities" -- that must be addressed in a mindful and purposeful manner. Though dated in some of his references (e.g., Lloyd George, the recent Great War), Jacks' text is quite accessible and there is rich material for consideration and carrying forward to a new audience.
