  New Testament - Lesson 1
"Christianity is a way of life, embodied in a corporate society or fellowship and centered on the worship of the One God revealed to the world through Jesus of Nazareth, who lived as a human being for about 30 years in Palestine and was crucified by the Romans at Jerusalem between AD 29 and 33.
The Son is in the express image of his Father's person; each has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man's; and both reign in power, might, and dominion over all the creations of their hands.
That we may the better comprehend the true significance of the Lord's life and ministry while in the flesh, some consideration should be given to the political, social, and religious condition of the people amongst whom He appeared and with whom He lived and died.

 Butler’s unhappy youth by Anthony Daniels
The Way of All Flesh is perhaps the most devastating and relentless literary assault by a son upon a father ever written.
Although The Way of All Flesh is a fictionalized (allegedly but slightly fictionalized) account of one man’s relationship with his father, we are clearly intended to take it as being in some way typical or at least emblematic of a whole society and its way of life.
The publication of The Way of All Flesh was an important moment in the rise of mass solipsism, and of the beatification of the victim as the only bearer of wisdom.

 Bookreporter.com - THE WAY OF ALL FLESH by Midas Dekkers
His latest book, THE WAY OF ALL FLESH, puts forth the inevitable fact that where there is life there is death.
With evident glee, Dekkers piles on the evidence: the holes in our Swiss cheese are created by bacteria farting gasses into moldering cheese; the skin and hair on which we lavish so much care is already dead; and even the most well-intentioned attempts at historical preservation are misguided and often hasten the processes of decay.
While it's not exactly an uplifting book, THE WAY OF ALL FLESH is strangely satisfying, offering a palliative to our culture's obsession with the next big thing by reminding us of the fragility of all things.

THE WAY OF ALL FLESH by Samuel Butler CHAPTER I When I was a small boy at the beginning of the century I remember an old man who wore knee-breeches and worsted stockings, and who used to hobble about the street of our village with the help of a stick.
His father, in spite of the lectures he would at times read him, was in a way proud of him as he grew older; he saw in him, moreover, one who would probably develop into a good man of business, and in whose hands the prospects of his house would not be likely to decline.
The result of the foregoing was that he had come to dislike women, as mysterious beings whose ways were not as his ways, nor their thoughts as his thoughts.

Butler thought contemptuously of the fiction of his day, especially in comparison with that of the eighteenth century, The Way of all Flesh owes practically nothing to any tradition; though its prodigality of idea and suggestion and wit has enabled later authors to quarry from it books, novels and essays ever since its publication.
Butler claimed for it that “it contains records of the things I saw happening rather than imaginary incidents”; it contained, also, things which he had undergone in his own experience.

 The Way of All Flesh
With The Way of All Flesh Butler is kicking at the pricks of that fastidiously ordered society with restrained distaste.
Priggishness (remember that one?), repression, religion and social stigma all come in for the tightlipped treatment and most of them come off the worse although this book was written at a time when disaffection with the status quo wasn't quite such a mainstream activity as it has since become.
The hero of The Way of All Flesh is a certain Earnest Pontifex, whom Butler portrays as suffering under the yoke of a typically distant, savage, unfeeling, birch-whip-prone Victorian Dad.

The Way of All Flesh by Samuel Butler
Samuel Butler, the freethinking Victorian whom George Bernard Shaw deemed 'the greatest English writer of the latter half of the nineteenth century,' was born on December 4, 1835, at Langar Rectory near Bingham, Nottinghamshire.
It is read, I believe, mostly by the young, bent on making out a case against their elders, but Butler was fifty when he stopped working on it, and no reader much under that age is likely to appreciate the full beauty of its horrors.

Published in 1903, a year after Butler's death, the novel is a thinly disguised account of his own childhood and youth 'in the bosom of a Christian family'.
With irony, wit and sometimes rancour, he savaged contemporary values and beliefs, turning inside-out the conventional novel of a family's life through several generations.
'The Way of All Flesh blows a refreshing wind of ironic laughter and caricature through some rooms of the mind that had become very musty indeed.

Samuel Butler : The Way of All Flesh
It seems that, for Samuel Butler, "The Way of All Flesh" means that all people - at various times, in various ways, and with varying degrees of destructiveness - use the ideas of religion and righteousness as a cloak for mere manipulation and the forcing of one's will.
It is an unpleasant idea, and would be almost unbearable if the novel itself did not hold out the possibility for hard-won growth toward genuineness - and perhaps even genuine Christian faith.
