A Modern Pharisee is a novel written by Silas Kitto Hocking in 1907. The book tells the story of a young man named John Treeline, who is a devout Christian and a member of the Plymouth Brethren. He is highly critical of those who do not share his beliefs and sees himself as a model of righteousness. However, as he grows older, he becomes increasingly judgmental and self-righteous, alienating himself from those around him.The novel explores themes of religious hypocrisy, self-righteousness, and the dangers of fanaticism. It also delves into the idea of the importance of humility and compassion in one's faith.Throughout the book, John's beliefs and actions are contrasted with those of his friend, the more open-minded and compassionate Dr. Latham. As John's beliefs become more extreme, he begins to distance himself from Dr. Latham and even his own family.The book is set in England in the early 20th century and provides a fascinating insight into the religious and social attitudes of the time. It is a thought-provoking and insightful read that challenges readers to examine their own beliefs and attitudes towards others.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
