William Booth on Evangelicalism's chief dangers

The following statement was originally made in 1901.

'When [William] Booth was asked by an American newspaper what he regarded as the chief dangers ahead for the twentieth century, he replied tersely:

"Religion without the Holy Ghost,
Christianity without Christ,
forgiveness without repentance,
salvation without regeneration,
politics without God,
and heaven without hell."'



The War Cry, 5 January 1901, p 7. Cited in Ian Murray's The Old Evangelicalism, p xi.
