Excerpt from The Select Works of Archbishop Leighton: Prepared for the Practical Use of Private Christians
The design of this volume is to bring within the reach of private Christians the most practical and interesting portions of Archbishop Leighton's Complete Works. The selection is in regular order from every part of his writings, and we have endeavored to make it in reality rather his select works, than a mere compilation of his beauties; supposing that no person of intelligence would be satisfied with a meagre list of scattered extracts. In the account of his life we have extracted several successive pages from the memoir prefixed to the last edition of his works, and have made free use of the interesting notices to be found in Bishop Burnet's History of his own Times.
The remark on page xl, in regard to the difference between Christians of this and the seventeenth century may be liable to misapprehension. Whoever at this day is a biblical Christian, must of necessity be a revival Christian; a Christian who prays with fervor and acts with energy for the conversion of his fellow men. But there is a tendency in the external religious effort of this age to stand in the place of prayer and the study of the Bible, instead of proceeding from the steady performance of those duties, as their inevitable, legitimate result. Our religion, then, is in danger of becoming bustling and superficial. Now if there be a thoughtful being in the universe, certainly the Christian ought to be such an individual. The Christians in Leighton's time were so.
