"I Believe" and other essays

"I Believe" and Other Essays by Guy Thorne is a compilation of writings from the beginning of the 1900s that considers Christianity, morals, and problems in society, tackling hard questions about right and wrong that people dealt with back then. Thorne looks at how Christian ideas still matter today while questioning common non-religious views on marriage, family, and faith. The book starts by talking about having faith in a world where more and more people doubt religious beliefs. Thorne thinks about how what society values has changed, highlighting how important it is for people, especially men, to face their duties as people and members of society as they deal with problems in their lives. He argues that lots of people who are unsure need help through clear Christian teachings, since negative views on faith leave people without a good understanding of relationships and what's right and wrong. As he sets up his points, Thorne aims to show how important religion is for a good life, suggesting that going back to basic Christian values could fix the disappointment of many people.
