Summary "The Contemporary Review, Volume 36, December 1879" by Various is a collection of essays and articles written in the late 19th century. This volume presents a diverse range of topics, showcasing contemporary thought from that period, including letters by John Ruskin addressing religious matters, critiques of political strategies, and discussions surrounding art and morality. The collection serves as a reflection of the social, cultural, and political climate of its time. At the start of this volume, the focus shifts to a series of letters penned by John Ruskin, intended for the clergy. Ruskin discusses significant theological questions regarding the role of clergymen in interpreting the Gospel message. He encourages a re-evaluation of the Church's function, urging clergy to embrace a more profound understanding of their duties towards their congregations and society at large. His letters aim to stimulate discourse within clerical societies, emphasizing the necessity for clear, compassionate teaching and challenging established norms in light of Christian values.
