Some Christian Convictions by Henry Sloane Coffin
"Some Christian Convictions" by Henry Sloane Coffin is a theological work written in the early 20th century. This book serves as a practical restatement of essential Christian beliefs, aimed particularly at modern audiences grappling with the complexities of faith in the face of contemporary intellectual challenges. Coffin seeks to bridge the divide between traditional religious teachings and the evolving understanding of spirituality in his time. The opening of the book introduces Coffin’s
intention to articulate core Christian doctrines in a way that resonates with those who are both familiar and unfamiliar with the faith. He reflects on the various intellectual movements that have shaped contemporary beliefs and expresses a sincere desire to present Christianity as both relevant and meaningful. Coffin begins by emphasizing the importance of experience and the role of emotions, intellect, and will in forming a robust religious life. He voices concerns about the disconnect between conventional presentations of Christianity and the spiritual needs of individuals in a modern context, establishing a framework for his broader discussions on religion, the Bible, Jesus Christ, and the essence of religious experience.
