Cover von Matthew Arnold: Literature & Dogma (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (ePUB)

In this influential 1873 essay, Arnold professes his skepticism about Christianity as a revealed religion yet argues for the utility of its ethical precepts. Therefore he proposes a liberal reading of scripture and secular faith that incorporates the civilizing aspects of religion.
