Sermon 2. “The Religion of the Pharisee, the Religion of Mankind”

In this sermon Newman criticizes the religion of the Pharisee or the religion of the day as being “often very beautiful on the surface, but worthless in God’s sight; good, as far as it goes, but worthless and hopeless, because it does not go further, because it is based on self-sufficiency, and results in self-satisfaction.” […] The post Sermon 2. “The Religion of the Pharisee, the Religion of Mankind” appeared first on St. John Henry Newman.
