Real Christianity

by William Wilberforce

Overview

19th-Century British MP and abolitionist William Wilberforce wrote A Practical View of the Prevailing Religious System of Professed Christians, also called Real Christianity, in 1797. In the book, Wilberforce, who underwent evangelical conversion ten years earlier, forcefully argues that Christians who become complacent and only lead a “nominal” Christian life, are contributing to a society rotting away at its core. He encourages Christians to focus their life on Christ and His teachings. An instant success upon its publishing, this call to action has been inspiring Christians for over two hundred years.

About the Author

William Wilberforce (1759-1833) was an English politician and philanthropist, known for his commitment to religious and social values, including the movement to stop the slave trade. Born in Hull, Yorkshire, he became a Member of Parliament for Yorkshire in 1784. In 1785, he underwent an evangelical conversion, resolving to commit himself to the service of God. He worked tirelessly for the passage of the Slave Trade Act of 1807, and the campaign that led to the Slavery Abolition Act 1833. He was also involved in the creation of the Church Mission Society, and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
