Truthfully, I haven't yet read it. There's also this article Marvin Olasky has written on Wilberforce http://www.townhall.com/columnists/MarvinOlasky/2007/02/01/remembering_a_hero On a completely different note, a couple of years ago, in a bidding frenzy on eBay, I spent too much in purchasing an early edition copy of Wilberforce's book entitled - "Practical View of the Prevailing Religious System of Professed Christians, in the Higher and Middle Classes in This Country, Contrasted with Real Christianity" What a title...he might have been a great reformer for social justice but apparently he knew little about catchy titles and marketing.

On a completely different note, a couple of years ago, in a bidding frenzy on eBay, I spent too much in purchasing an early edition copy of Wilberforce’s book entitled -

“Practical View of the Prevailing Religious System of Professed Christians, in the Higher and Middle Classes in This Country, Contrasted with Real Christianity”

What a title…he might have been a great reformer for social justice but apparently he knew little about catchy titles and marketing.

I've seen trailers for it and it looks REALLY good! The actor who plays William Wilberforce is a great actor (I've seen him in other movies) and is very passionate. Perfect for the part.
