Summary "I Believe" and Other Essays by Guy Thorne is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. The work explores themes surrounding Christianity, ethics, and social issues, addressing the moral dilemmas faced by contemporary society. Thorne delves into the relevance of Christian principles in modern life while critiquing prevailing secular attitudes towards marriage, family, and belief. The opening of the collection introduces the concept of faith in a world increasingly skeptical of religious beliefs. Thorne reflects on the shift in societal values and the necessity for individuals, particularly men, to confront their ethical responsibilities as they navigate personal and social challenges. He emphasizes that many people, caught in the "valley of decision," need guidance through clarity on Christian doctrine, as jaded perspectives on faith leave a void in understanding human relationships and morality. As he lays the groundwork for his arguments, Thorne seeks to underscore the integral connection between religion and a fulfilling life, suggesting that a return to core Christian values could remedy the disillusionment of the masses.
