Piety Without Asceticism Or The Protestant Kempis: A Manual Of Christian Faith And Practice is a religious book authored by Henry Scougal, a Scottish theologian and philosopher. The book was first published in 1677 and is considered a classic of Christian literature.The book is a guide to living a pious Christian life without the need for extreme asceticism or self-denial. It is written in the style of a devotional manual and is intended to be used as a practical guide for Christian living. The book is divided into four parts: the nature of true religion, the practice of religion, the benefits of religion, and the motives for religion.Scougal argues that true piety is not about outward displays of devotion, but rather an inward transformation of the heart. He emphasizes the importance of prayer, the study of scripture, and the cultivation of virtues such as humility, love, and gratitude. He also stresses the importance of living a life of service to others, and of seeking to love and serve God with all one's heart, mind, and soul.Throughout the book, Scougal draws on the teachings of the Bible, as well as the works of other Christian writers, including St. Augustine, Thomas ������ Kempis, and John Calvin. He also uses personal anecdotes and examples to illustrate his points and make his message more accessible.Overall, Piety Without Asceticism Or The Protestant Kempis: A Manual Of Christian Faith And Practice is a timeless guide to living a life of piety and devotion, written in a clear and accessible style that is still relevant to readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
