Summary "Christian Literature" by John Stoughton is a sermon delivered in 1870 during the seventy-first anniversary of the Religious Tract Society. This work can be classified as a religious and theological address, reflecting on the nature and purpose of Christian literature. It likely belongs to the Victorian era, a time characterized by a flourishing of religious thought and literary expression. In this sermon, Stoughton emphasizes the vital role that Christian literature plays in spreading the teachings and truth of Christianity. He discusses the historical significance of the Bible and its supporting texts, advocating for their thorough study and reflection. The sermon touches on the importance of diversifying literature to reflect Christian values, calling for an engagement with both sacred and secular texts to enrich understanding and inspire moral living. He argues for the significance of the Religious Tract Society and the impact of its publications in educating and converting individuals to faith, emphasizing a collective obligation to promote uplifting literature that nurtures both individual spirituality and communal welfare.
