{"product_id":"9781598569650","title":"A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally published at the beginning of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, a time when rationalist criticism of religious belief was perhas at its peak, William Law's \u003cb\u003eA Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life\u003c\/b\u003e succeeded in inspiring the most cynical men of the age with its arguments in favor of a spiritual life. More than simply articulating a set of rules to live by, Law's book examines what it means to lead a Christian life and criticizes the perversion of Christian tenents by the Establishment—whether secular or spiritual—whose real aim is temporal power. With a perface by the Reverend William Sloane Coffin, Jr., whose own direct engagement in social causes still finds inspiration in Law's argument, \u003cb\u003eA Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life\u003c\/b\u003e is a book that can still speak to our time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hendrickson Publishers, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175101382896,"sku":"9781598569650","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781598569650_p0.jpg?v=1763814512","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781598569650","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
