Book Description
Excerpt from Memoir of the Rev. John H. Rice, D.D: First Professor of Christian Theology in Union Theological Seminary, Virginia In availing myself of the, aid which these let ters have afforded me in my work, I have hard ly ever stated any part of their contents before hand but have almost invariably left them to speak for themselves, and trusted that the read er would be able to follow the thread of the narrative through them, (although it is some times mixed up with other matters, ) so leaving the writer to tell his own story, and inter posing myself, only now and then, with such ad ditional notices as were necessary to supply omissions, and connect the parts together. In this manner, I have aimed to avoid repetition, and keep the narrative always moving. It is true, however, that I have also introduced other let ters, according to their dates, which do not con tinue the narrative, and so rather delay the rea der's progress a little but then it is always to let him take some new Views of the character of the pastor, or the writer, or the man and, in this way, i give him; I think, a fair compensation for stopping him, as it were, for a while on the road.

An Uncommon Christian
Author: Francis I. KylePublisher: University Press of America
ISBN: 1461677270
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 279
Book Description
An Uncommon Christian seeks to show how and why James Brainerd Taylor (1801–1829) became a popular participant during America's Second Great Awakening, and why the Princeton graduate and Yale Seminary student grew to be a frequent example of evangelical Protestant spirituality and evangelistic passion long after his untimely death. Those interested in religious revivals, evangelism and missions, spirituality, early nineteenth-century American history, the integration of faith and action with university or seminary studies, or inspirational Christian biography will benefit from this exhaustive and long overdue book on a forgotten "hero" of the Protestant faith.

Pages : 2849
Book Description
From the Founding Fathers through the present, Christianity has exercised powerful influence in the United States—from its role in shaping politics and social institutions to its hand in inspiring art and culture. The Encyclopedia of Christianity in the United States outlines the myriad roles Christianity has played and continues to play. This masterful five-volume reference work includes biographies of major figures in the Christian church in the United States, influential religious documents and Supreme Court decisions, and information on theology and theologians, denominations, faith-based organizations, immigration, art—from decorative arts and film to music and literature—evangelism and crusades, the significant role of women, racial issues, civil religion, and more. The first volume opens with introductory essays that provide snapshots of Christianity in the U.S. from pre-colonial times to the present, as well as a statistical profile and a timeline of key dates and events. Entries are organized from A to Z. The final volume closes with essays exploring impressions of Christianity in the United States from other faiths and other parts of the world, as well as a select yet comprehensive bibliography. Appendices help readers locate entries by thematic section and author, and a comprehensive index further aids navigation.
