"The Christian Life: Its Course, Its Hindrances, and Its Helps" by Thomas Arnold is a theological treatise written in the mid-19th century. The work delves into the complexities of the Christian experience, addressing the journey believers embark upon, the obstacles they face, and the support systems instrumental in their spiritual growth. The opening of the book introduces the reader to Arnold's exploration of the Christian life, emphasizing the importance of understanding one's condition after the Fall, as depicted in the Genesis account. Arnold presents the notion that human beings exist in a state of moral disarray, likening the human experience to being trapped in a perilous wilderness. He asserts that this condition, while evil, is also an opportunity for progress towards a divine nature through faith in God’s promises. At the start, he sets the stage for a profound discussion on how to navigate this treacherous terrain of life by shedding the burdens of sin and striving for righteousness, framing courage and resolve as essential virtues for Christians seeking redemption.
