Many thanks to the Bodleian Library for allowing their copy to be consulted "Is This Your Likeness? A Scriptural Definition of Hypocrisy and Sincerity" by J. Church is a religious treatise written in the early 19th century, specifically in 1826. This book delves into the concepts of hypocrisy and sincerity from a scriptural perspective, aiming to provide readers with a biblical definition and distinction between the two. It highlights the importance of genuine faith and the pitfalls of false appearances in spiritual life. The content of the book contrasts the characteristics of sincere believers with those of hypocrites, using scriptural evidence to illustrate each trait. Church draws vivid analogies, comparing believers to various forms of art to emphasize the different stages and qualities of spiritual growth. He warns against the dangers of hypocrisy that can creep into religious practices, painting hypocrites as those who maintain a facade without true faith. By articulating the traits of sincere believers, including humility, genuine love, and steadfastness in the face of adversity, the author encourages readers to reflect on their inner state, asking them to examine their own faith and relationship with God. The book ultimately serves as a call to a deeper, more authentic spiritual life, urging believers to seek true sincerity in their Christian walk. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
