About The Book: This book contains that the study of Theology has seen a surge in research in recent years, with many points of doctrine being scrutinized through the crucible of testing. The addition of ancient manuscripts and archaeological discoveries has never been greater, and linguistic knowledge has advanced due to the constant addition of data for comparative study. The relationship between Religion and Morality is a subject of never-ending interest, and there is a close connection between the two. People in England who wish to make something of their lives can be divided into those who value religion and those who value morality, but all strive to justify their preference by exhibiting their idea of the connection between the two. The Moralists estimate religious belief by its moral outcome, and if it results in good living, nothing can be said against it. The underlying principle of this prevalent way of estimating religious doctrine is that conduct is all-important, and religious belief is of secondary value. About The Author: Edward Lyttelton (1855–1942) was an English schoolmaster, cleric and sportsman from the Lyttelton family who was headmaster of Eton College from 1905 to 1916. During his early years he played first-class cricket for Cambridge University and Middlesex. Lyttelton was educated at Eton College followed by Trinity College, Cambridge,where he became a member and club librarian of the University Pitt Club. His Christian principles made his position difficult after the outbreak of the First World War, especially following the reception to his sermon at St Margaret's, Westminster, in March 1915, in which he argued that the whole German nation should not be condemned and that any peace settlement should be generous. This led to a public storm of protest, and following a personal spiritual crisis Lyttelton resigned his post in 1916. He was appointed to the position of honorary canon at Norwich in 1931–1941.
