Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The prose works of Jonathan Swift, D.D. Vol. III brings together a selection of reflective and argumentative writings that reveal the intellectual force behind Swift's religious and moral thought. The volume concentrates on questions surrounding Christianity, the authority of the Church of England, and the responsibilities of spiritual leadership within society. Through sharp reasoning and measured irony, the essays examine the tensions between faith and reason, sincerity and hypocrisy, and public duty and private belief. The collection highlights Swift's concern with preserving moral clarity in an age of debate and shifting loyalties. His prose combines theological reflection with social criticism, challenging complacency and urging a return to principled conduct. Rather than offering abstract doctrine alone, the writings engage directly with contemporary controversies, exposing inconsistencies in both religious practice and public life. The tone ranges from earnest defense of established belief to incisive satire aimed at corruption and superficial devotion. Taken together, the volume presents a portrait of a thinker deeply invested in the ethical foundations of society and the enduring significance of religious conviction.…
