Summary "The Book of Light in the Hand of Love: A plea for the British and Foreign Bible Society" by C. J. Vaughan, D.D. is a sermon delivered at St. Paul’s Cathedral in the early 1870s. This religious publication emphasizes the importance of the Bible as a source of divine light and love, arguing for its dissemination among all people. Vaughan's work revolves around the theological principles that "God is Light" and "God is Love," presenting a vision that encourages believers to share the light of the Scriptures without reservation. In the sermon, Vaughan passionately articulates the necessity of the Bible in revealing a living God and a Divine Saviour, criticizing the barriers that institutions often place on individuals seeking enlightenment. He draws attention to the socio-religious context of his time, urging the congregation to appreciate the power of Scripture as a transformative force in the world. Throughout, Vaughan highlights the British and Foreign Bible Society's critical role in ensuring access to the Bible, advocating that spiritual illumination should precede any institutional considerations. He asserts that the individual's right to the Bible must be honored to foster true devotion and community in faith, ultimately calling for unity among Christians in their shared belief in the life-giving Word.
