Hints For The Times: Or The Religions Of Sentiment, Of Form, And Of Feeling, Contrasted With Vital Godliness is a book written by George Smith and published in 1848. The book is a critique of the religious trends of the time and contrasts three different types of religion: religion of sentiment, religion of form, and religion of feeling, with what the author calls vital godliness. The religion of sentiment is described as being based on emotions and feelings, rather than on a true understanding of religious doctrine. The religion of form is focused on external rituals and practices, rather than on a personal relationship with God. The religion of feeling is characterized by an intense emotional experience, but lacking in true spiritual depth. The author argues that these types of religion are inadequate and ultimately unsatisfying, and that true religion must be based on a personal relationship with God and a deep understanding of religious doctrine. He emphasizes the importance of a sincere and heartfelt faith, and warns against the dangers of superficial or hypocritical religious practices. Overall, Hints For The Times is a thought-provoking critique of religious trends in the mid-19th century and a call to a deeper, more meaningful faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
