Christian Hope (1858) - James John Angell

Christian Hope is a book written by John Angell James and first published in 1858. The book is a comprehensive exploration of the Christian concept of hope, which is defined as the confident expectation of future good based on the promises of God. The author explores the nature, sources, and benefits of Christian hope, as well as the obstacles that can hinder it. The book is divided into three parts. The first part examines the nature of Christian hope, including its relationship to faith and love. The author argues that hope is not merely a wishful thinking or a vague optimism, but a firm assurance based on the character and promises of God. He also shows how hope is related to faith and love, and how these three virtues work together to sustain the Christian life.The second part of the book explores the sources of Christian hope, including the promises of God, the work of Christ, and the witness of the Holy Spirit. The author shows how these sources provide a solid foundation for Christian hope, and how they can be relied upon even in the midst of trials and suffering.The third and final part of the book focuses on the benefits of Christian hope, both in this life and in the life to come. The author shows how hope can sustain us in times of difficulty, give us courage to persevere, and inspire us to live a life of faith and service. He also explores the hope of eternal life, and how this hope can transform our perspective on the present and give us a sense of purpose and meaning.Overall, Christian Hope is a thoughtful and inspiring exploration of one of the central concepts of the Christian faith. It is written in a clear and accessible style, and is suitable for both new and experienced Christians who are seeking to deepen their understanding of the Christian hope.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
