Book Description
Excerpt from Pilgrims of the Lonely Road The author of these studies does not know any better way of preparing an introduction to them than by giving some account of their genesis. They were, to begin with, a series of rather informal addresses on certain books of the confessional type given to the people of the author's parish as a Lenten exercise under the caption "Books of the Spirit." In the addresses themselves the books were considered with no more reference than seemed absolutely necessary to the men who wrote them and with little reference, at least in the beginning of the series, to the deeper connections of the spiritual process of which the books themselves are the revelation. Something of the informal character of that first presentation and the method of it has persisted in spite of much revision. There is very little need to say so much as this, for the discriminating critic will discover it directly. It was quite impossible, however, to go far in the study of such books as these without finding in them varying aspects of a deeper movement which underruns them all. The sense of this grew with the process of revision: the processes which the books reveal rather than the books themselves came to be uppermost in the author's mind.
