The Budget of Truth: Relative to the Present Aspect of Affairs in the Religious and the Political World

More about the book

This scathing critique of the state of religion and politics in mid-19th century England was a bestseller when it was first published in 1850. Burridge argues that the Church of England has become corrupt and complacent, promoting a deadening orthodoxy that smothers spiritual vitality. He also castigates the Whig government for neglecting its duty to address the needs of the poor and oppressed. Burridge's eloquent prose and powerful message still resonate today.
