Published in 1797, this influential work by the abolitionist and reformer William Wilberforce contrasts the nominal Christianity of the educated classes of his day with what he regarded as “real” or vital Christianity. Wilberforce argues for a religion of inward conviction and practical conduct, calling his contemporaries to a more serious and active faith.
