Download or read book Saving the Church of England written by Daniel C. Norman and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-04-28 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On his second Atlantic voyage, George Whitefield read lengthy quotations from a work of a deceased English cleric. Writing in his journal, he exclaimed, “[These words] deserve to be written in Letters of Gold.” Whitefield’s associate, the American Jonathan Edwards, concurred. That cleric was John Edwards, an anomaly in several respects: a self-proclaimed Calvinist who conformed to the Church of England at a time when most Calvinists left in the Great Ejection of 1662. In leading a public debate against prominent intellectuals of his day, including John Locke and Samuel Clarke, over the definition of orthodox Christianity, he allied himself with the same church leaders who decried his Calvinist theology. Edwards retired in his mid-fifties due to “ill health”—a retirement in which he wrote over forty scholarly books. At the heart of his concern was the unity and doctrinal orthodoxy of the church, themes over which contentious disputes have reverberated throughout church history. Saving the Church of England tells the story of why the church was in trouble and of John Edwards’s heroic effort to save it.

Download or read book Yvain written by Chretien de Troyes and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1987-09-10 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes is a major figure in European literature. His courtly romances fathered the Arthurian tradition and influenced countless other poets in England as well as on the continent. Yet because of the difficulty of capturing his swift-moving style in translation, English-speaking audiences are largely unfamiliar with the pleasures of reading his poems. Now, for the first time, an experienced translator of medieval verse who is himself a poet provides a translation of Chrétien’s major poem, Yvain, in verse that fully and satisfyingly captures the movement, the sense, and the spirit of the Old French original. Yvain is a courtly romance with a moral tenor; it is ironic and sometimes bawdy; the poetry is crisp and vivid. In addition, the psychological and the socio-historical perceptions of the poem are of profound literary and historical importance, for it evokes the emotions and the values of a flourishing, vibrant medieval past.

Download or read book Early Journals and Letters of Fanny Burney Volume 4 written by Frances Burney and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2003-05-21 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume IV of The Early Journals and Letters of Fanny Burney, covering the years 1780-1781, will be of particular interest to students of Burney as it marks the young author's introduction into the world following the astonishing success of her novel Evelina (1778) and includes her visits to Streatham and her encounters with Hester and Henry Thrale and Dr Johnson. It was an exciting period in her life, which she managed to enjoy despite struggling to repeat her first success while avoiding the often unwelcome attention it brought. But it was also a difficult period in her family life as she dealt with jealous interference by her stepmother, the courtship of her sister Susan by a man she considered untrustworthy, and the misbehaviour of her brothers. Burney's enthusiasm makes the most of her experiences and she describes characters and scenes with all the genius displayed in her novels. Her descriptions contain the four great attributes that distinguish her novels: brilliant handling of detail, total and full recall of conversations characteristic of the speaker, sensibility and empathy for others, and great relish for the ridiculous wherever it occurred.

Download or read book The Mad Crew written by Kirk Watson and published by . This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While civil wars turned politics in 1600s England upside down, its religious landscape was no less tumultuous; new ideas, "new light", new forms of religious expression and exploration gained ground with the common people. The most extreme form this exploration took was the brief Ranter movement, which adopted pantheism and denied morality, the afterlife, and the resurrection, while promoting free love and communism; and all of this while maintaining a Biblical worldview. And since they practiced what they preached, they were quickly suppressed by the authorities. The Ranter moment was like a fireworks show: dazzling, terrifying, beautiful, but quickly fading away.Still, the writings of the Ranters represent a unique combination of ideas in the history of religion. These fascinating books will continue to inspire students of the history of ideas in the areas of philosophy, religion, ethics, and freedom of thought.This collection includes:(anonymous) "A Justification of the Mad Crew"Laurence Clarkson, "A Single Eye, All Light, no Darkness; or Light and Darkness One"Abiezer Coppe, "A Fiery Flying Roll", "A Second Fiery Flying Roll"Jacob Bauthumley, "The Light and Dark Sides of God"

Download or read book The Vision of God written by Nicholas of Cusa and published by Cosimo Classics. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known for his deeply mystical writings about Christianity, Nicholas of Cusa wrote this, his most popular work, against a backdrop of widespread Church corruption. God, he believed, is found in all things, and thus cannot be perceived by man's senses and intellect alone. The path to ultimate knowledge, then, begins in recognizing our own ignorance. Deeply influenced by Saint Augustine, Nicholas mixes the metaphysical with the personal to create a deeply felt work, first published in 1453, designed to restore faith in even the most jaded.
