Excerpt: ... tuted, in April, 1852, he was elected its President and filled the position the remainder of his life. To the advocacy of the cause of Bible revision, he gave the full measure of his great strength and learning. To him the Society owed much of its popularity among the Baptists of Kentucky, as well as those of the whole South. In the midst of a career of great usefulness, and in the very prime of manhood, he was suddenly and unexpectedly called to his reward above, October 10, 1854. A great and good man had fallen, and the Baptists of the nation deplored his loss. But the Baptists of Kentucky mourned for him as the children of Israel did for Moses. He was to them almost an idol. They felt that his loss was irreparable. In their affections, he was without a rival, and they felt, when he was gone, that they should never look upon his like again, upon earth. Dr. Waller was truly a great man. To use his own expression, concerning another, "his brain was cast in nature's most capacious mould." He was an enthusiastic student. "Many a time," said he, "I have sat in my study, from sunrise till sunrise again, leaving it only to go to my meals." To him, study was not a task, but a supreme pleasure. He retained, with remarkable tenacity and exactness, everything he read. Even at the early age of thirty-three, when he engaged in public debates with such champions of the Presbyterian church as Nathan L. Rice, John Brown, Robert C. Grundy, and John T. Hendrick, he seemed to be thoroughly acquainted with the whole range of Ecclesiastical history, religious controversy, and Biblical criticism. As a controversialist he had few superiors. Dr. N. L. Rice, the most famous debater in the Presbyterian church of the United States, virtually acknowledged his...

Download or read book The Buzzel About Kentuck written by Craig Thompson Friend and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-11-21 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Touted as an American Eden, Kentucky provides one of the most dramatic social histories of early America. In this collection, ten contributors trace the evolution of Kentucky from First West to Early Republic. The authors tell the stories of the state's remarkable settlers and inhabitants: Indians, African Americans, working-class men and women, wealthy planters and struggling farmers. Eager settlers built defensive forts across the countryside, while women and slaves used revivalism to create new opportunities for themselves in a white, patriarchal society. The world that this diverse group of people made was both a society uniquely Kentuckian and a microcosm of the unfolding American pageant. In the mid-1700s, the trans-Appalachian region gained a reputation for its openness, innocence, and rusticity- fertile ground for an agrarian republic founded on the virtue of the yeoman ideal. By the nineteenth century, writers of history would characterize the state as a breeding ground for an American culture of distinctly Anglo-Saxon origin. Modern historians, however, now emphasize exploring the entire human experience, rather than simply the political history, of the region. An unusual blend of social, economic, political, cultural, and religious history, this volume goes a long way toward answering the question posed by a Virginia clergyman in 1775: "What a buzzel is this amongst people about Kentuck?"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Drawing upon the religious writings of southern evangelicals, John Boles asserts that the extraordinary crowds and miraculous transformations that distinguished the South's First Great Awakening were not simply instances of emotional excess but the expression of widespread and complex attitudes toward God. Converted southerners were starkly individualistic, interested more in gaining personal salvation in a hopelessly evil world than in improving society. As Boles shows in this landmark study, the effect of the Revival was to throw over the region a conservative cast that remains dominant in contemporary southern thought and life.

Download or read book Law in American Meetinghouses written by Jeffrey Thomas Perry and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revealing look at the changing role of churches in the decades after the American Revolution. Most Americans today would not think of their local church as a site for arbitration and would probably be hesitant to bring their property disputes, moral failings, or personal squabbles to their kin and neighbors for judgment. But from the Revolutionary Era through the mid-nineteenth century, many Protestants imbued local churches with immense authority. Through their ritual practice of discipline, churches insisted that brethren refrain from suing each other before "infidels" at local courts and claimed jurisdiction over a range of disputes: not only moral issues such as swearing, drunkenness, and adultery but also matters more typically considered to be under the purview of common law and courts of equity, including disputes over trespass, land, probate, slave warranty, and theft. In Law in American Meetinghouses, Jeffrey Thomas Perry explores the ways that ordinary Americans—Black and white, enslaved and free—understood and created law in their local communities, uncovering a vibrant marketplace of authority in which church meetinghouses played a central role in maintaining their neighborhoods' social peace. Churches were once prominent sites for the creation of local law and in this period were a primary arena in which civil and religious authority collided and shaped one another. When church discipline failed, the wronged parties often pushed back, and their responses highlight the various forces that ultimately hindered that venue's ability to effectively arbitrate disputes between members. Relying primarily on a deep reading of church records and civil case files, Perry examines how legal transformations, an expanding market economy, and religious controversy led churchgoers to reimagine their congregations' authority. By the 1830s, unable to resolve doctrinal quibbles within the fellowship, church factions turned to state courts to secure control over their meetinghouses, often demanding that judges wade into messy ecclesiastical disputes. Tracking changes in disciplinary rigor in Kentucky Baptist churches from that state's frontier period through 1845, and looking beyond statutes and court decrees, Law in American Meetinghouses is a fresh take on church-state relations. Ultimately, it highlights an oft-forgotten way that Americans subtly repositioned religious institutions alongside state authority.

Download or read book Servanthood of Song written by Stanley R. McDaniel and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-05-23 with total page 837 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Servanthood of Song is a history of American church music from the colonial era to the present. Its focus is on the institutional and societal pressures that have shaped church song and have led us directly to where we are today. The gulf which separates advocates of traditional and contemporary worship—Black and White, Protestant and Catholic—is not new. History repeatedly shows us that ministry, to be effective, must meet the needs of the entire worshiping community, not just one segment, age group, or class. Servanthood of Song provides a historical context for trends in contemporary worship in the United States and suggests that the current polemical divisions between advocates of contemporary and traditional, classically oriented church music are both unnecessary and counterproductive. It also draws from history to show that, to be the powerful component of worship it can be, music—whatever the genre—must be viewed as a ministry with training appropriate to that. Servanthood of Song provides a critical resource for anyone considering a career in either musical or pastoral ministries in the American church as well as all who care passionately about vital and authentic worship for the church of today.
