The Almost Christian Discovered Rev Matthew Mead

"'The almost Christian'-if there be one thing more than another, which its pages are fitted to produce, it is a godly jealousy. To awaken this, and realize the fruits of it, is the author's chosen purpose. It is truly a searching volume. Its author saw the havoc which an easy credulity in matters of religion was spreading among professors of his own time; his spirit was stirred within him, at the thought of the delusion which it propagated, and the immensity of the interests which it bartered away; and in discharging a duty to the men of his generation, he has put on record a word in season to us.
