The Last Reformation

"The Last Reformation" by F. G. Smith is a religious exploration that discusses the need for change within the Christian church. Smith tackles the widespread unhappiness with church systems, arguing for a return to the core beliefs and practices of early Christianity. He envisions a reformation that goes beyond differences between denominations, uniting believers under a shared faith. The book starts by pointing out problems in the modern church, claiming it has strayed from Christ's original plan. Smith sees a weakening of faith and anticipates a new movement to revive the church, bringing it back to the truths found in the Bible. The Holy Spirit is presented as the guide for this renewal, leading true Christians toward unity, grounded in love and a shared identity in Christ, setting the stage for a discussion of the church's history, its structure, and the constant requirement for reform.
