A Practical View of Real Christianity is a concise Trinity Forum edition of William Wilberforce’s classic 1797 work on authentic Christian faith.

Best known for his role in the abolition of the British slave trade, Wilberforce wrote this book to contrast merely cultural or nominal Christianity with “real Christianity” — a living faith shaped by Scripture, conviction, repentance, and love of neighbor.

This edition presents selected excerpts in Wilberforce’s own words, lightly adapted for modern spelling, with a foreword by Chuck Stetson.

A thoughtful little volume for readers interested in Christian classics, discipleship, moral reform, and faith lived seriously in public life.
