"The Works of Richard Hurd, Volume 7" by Richard Hurd is a compilation of religious sermons given in the late 1700s that digs into deep questions about right and wrong, belief, and understanding God. Focusing on sermons delivered at Lincoln's Inn from 1765 to 1776, the book seeks to offer insight into Christian teachings, moral behavior, and what it means to be human in relation to the divine. The book starts with a close look at Felix, a Roman governor from the Bible, using a sermon to explore not taking action when you should and being responsible for your choices. The author thinks about when Felix met the Apostle Paul, showing how Felix’s failure to decide and put off changing for the better led to him not growing spiritually, and urging people to think about themselves and take action right away in their own spiritual lives, pointing out the risk of putting off needed change even when it's clear what they should do. The sermon works as both a look back at history and a call to be better, asking readers to think about whether they tend to put off important decisions about their faith.
