Conformity to the World
Transcribed from the 1877 Hatchards edition by David Price
"Conformity to the World" by Edward Hoare is a theological treatise written in the late 19th century, specifically around the 1870s. The book delves into the concept of societal influence on personal faith and the dangers of conforming to worldly standards as opposed to following spiritual principles. It discusses how adherence to worldly ways can erode one's Christian values and highlights the importance of maintaining a distinct identity as believers. In this work, Hoare examines various aspects of life, including dress, social interactions, friendships, and amusements, to illustrate how Christians can inadvertently blend into worldly norms. He emphasizes the significance of maintaining a clear distinction between the people of God and the surrounding culture, cautioning against the subtle influences that may lead believers astray. Through biblical references and practical advice, the author urges readers to adopt a life rooted in Christian principles, making conscious choices that reflect their faith rather than succumbing to societal pressures.
