Product Description

What are the three biggest problems in the church? Falling asleep during the sermon, listening to the "wisdom" of today, and not subjecting ourselves to others ("Me, Me, Me"). In this short treatise, Jonathan Swift (yes, Gulliver's Travels' Swift) gives us new insight on an old problem.

About the author:
Swift was a famous Irish poet, pamphleteer, satirist and wit of Augustan Age. He was educated (more or less) at Trinity College, Dublin. In the aftermath of the 1689 Jacobite rebellion in Ireland, Swift found shelter in England, under the auspices of Sir William Temple, a prominent diplomat and statesman. Swift served as secretary to Temple for the next ten years. In the process, he earned his M.A. at Oxford, was ordained into the Episcopalian Church of Ireland and was charged with the tutorship of Temple's young ward, Esther Johnson, a.k.a. "Stella".
