Here is a clear, concise and judicious examination of the bedrock Christian moral principles of mercy and meekness that leads the author, a professor of philosophy, to affirm their essential integration if we are to become complete Christians. Dr. Walters redefines and synthesizes the Christian principles: mercy and meekness together are virtues compatible, complementary, and essential to our pathway to union with Christ, convincingly countering the Nietzschean philosophy that rejects their synthesis (one or the other is possible, but not both), as incompatible, inherently contradictory and "morally repugnant." Intended as a reference work for undergraduate students, this spare book, rooted in Scripture and Christian tradition, the thought of Thomas Merton, Henri Nouwen, Ayn Rand, and Friedrich Nietzsche, including his polemics with the Sermon on the Mount, is also helpful for the general reader in search of spiritual wholeness. It is an effective counterguide to Christianity's naysayers.
Revised 2024. Just as Andrew Murray’s book Humility is a classic on cultivating humility, so is Henry’s work on meekness for those pursuing it. While the book may feel repetitive at times, it is like a cloth repeatedly scrubbing a spot that wasn’t clean the first time. By the end, this thorough approach will have greatly helped you cultivate meekness in your own life. Matthew Henry writes, "there is no other topic I could bring to you where I feel more likely to succeed than this, for meekness contributes so much to the comfort and peace of our souls, making our lives sweet and pleasant. If you are wise in this, you are wise for yourself. The aim of this discourse has been to persuade you not to be your own tormentors but to govern your passions so that they do not become furies to your soul. The virtue I have been recommending to you is universally acknowledged as excellent and beautiful. Will you embrace it and wear it, so that others may know you are Christ's disciples and you may be found among the sheep on His right hand on the great day when Christ’s angels will gather out of His kingdom all that offends?"
