THE ROCK OF TRUTH" By Arthur Findlay / 1933 / 320 pages.
To quote Arthur
Findlay' "I am one of the first to admire the
unselfish social work of many clergy in the slums and
elsewhere, but these activities are quite apart from
those with which this book is concerned. Many others
besides the clergy of the orthodox faith are engaged in
missions to the poor. It is not the social side of the
Church's work that this book attacks, but orthodox
Christianity as preached from nearly every pulpit in
Christendom, and it is this which affects the great
majority of the people." "If I were not able to
put before the people a better religion, a truer
religion, and a greater religion for them to observe and
follow, I would not trouble to attack what is false, as
it gives a certain measure of comfort to many.
Spiritualism, however, is an infinitely greater help to
us in our lives and also in our deaths than the old
faiths which satisfied our ancestors. My wish is not to
knock down and destroy. My aim is to build a nobler
edifice, but before this edifice can be built decaying
rubbish about its foundations must be cleared away."
So says Arthur Findlay in his masterly "The rock of
truth." Subtitled "Spiritualism, the coming
World Religion," the author examines such far
reaching points as "What did Jesus really
teach?" "Spiritualism, and what it stands
for," "The Philosophy of Spiritualism" and
all important points. This superb book investigates - and
indicts - orthodoxy, and can rightly be regarded as a
classic in the annals of psychic literature.
