This vintage copy of “The ‘forty days’ of scripture: Sixteen addresses” by W. T. P. Wolston offers a unique glimpse into early 20th-century Christian devotional literature. Wolston, a prominent figure in the Plymouth Brethren movement, penned this collection of meditations on the biblical accounts of Christ’s post-resurrection appearances. Published in the early 1900s, the book reflects the Brethren’s emphasis on a literal interpretation of Scripture and their rejection of denominational hierarchies.
Collectors of religious antiquarian books will appreciate the historical significance of this work, which sheds light on the beliefs and practices of a influential Christian movement during a formative period. The well-preserved condition of the pages and binding ensures that readers can immerse themselves in Wolston’s contemplative prose, which draws spiritual lessons from the “forty days” between Christ’s resurrection and ascension. Whether for scholarly study or personal edification, this volume offers a window into a pivotal era of Christian thought and devotion.
