Summary: "Christianity and Problems of To-day: Lectures Delivered Before Lake Forest…" is a collection of lectures written in the early 20th century. The book presents various perspectives from different authors on the intersection of Christianity with contemporary societal issues, addressing themes like education, social justice, and moral duty. Through these lectures, it aims to engage with the challenges that arise at the confluence of faith and modern life. The opening of this volume introduces a lecture by John Huston Finley that draws on a legend about Enoch, an early biblical figure regarded as the first teacher who aimed to pass wisdom from generations. Finley emphasizes the importance of education as a means to enrich society and promote peace, suggesting the ongoing obligation to transmit knowledge across generations. He reflects on how Enoch’s legacy of learning and moral instruction can illuminate the pressing need for nurturing the next generation—an idea that resonates deeply in the context of evolving societal landscapes. Finley’s thoughts set a tone for the subsequent lectures, opening a dialogue on how Christian teachings can address modern challenges effectively. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
