Summary of Chapman Christian Living in the Modern World

In this 15 chapter work by Chapman (Nazarene), he presents us with thoughts on Christianity in the modern world. Some of his chapters are “Cheap religion”, an appaisal of Life’s values, Faith- overcoming principle, selfishness and unselfishness, vigilance the price of safety, Grace and good sense, Is God fair? etc.

Evaluation by David Cox

Chapman was Nazarene, and the Nazarenes are basically a branch off of mainstream Methodism. While some would appear to be more legalistic, many have some good writings that would spiritually help people if they would take the time to read them. Chapman’s work has 15 chapters of various topics of spiritual help. His work is more a devotional type of work that a scholarly technical work. None-the-less it has good value for the student of Scripture in feeding his soul spiritually.

I would give this one a thumbs up.
