Download or read book Isaac Backus and the American Pietistic Tradition written by William Gerald McLoughlin and published by Boston : Little, Brown. This book was released on 1967 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "William McLoughlin's vivid biography of Isaac Backus throws light on the developments which imparted a religious dimension to the struggle for American nationality. Already in the seventeenth century, the colonists had worried about the obligations imposed by conscience and the relationship of the individual to society. That anxiety grew deeper in the eighteenth century. Isaac Backus grew up in an environment which repeatedly thrust those problems upon men's attention. He lived at a time when religious issues raised the question of where the true source of spiritual authority. Backus and his Baptist following wrestled with both sets of issues; and the course they took as the Revolution unfolded would have a permanent effect upon American character and institutions." -- Oscar Handlin (excerpt from Editor's Preface)

Download or read book Isaac Backus and the Second Reformation written by Bruce Snavely and published by . This book was released on 2016-12-31 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whatever happened to the Christian Reformation which began under Martin Luther? When did it end? Or better yet, where did it end? Some would say in Puritan England. Others would argue that its terminus ad quem was in the failed Puritan experiment in Colonial New England. But the actual answer lies in the aftermath of the Great Awakening when the Congregational system gave up thousands of people to genuine conversion and a search for a biblical church and, ultimately, the exponential growth of the Baptist denomination. -If the separation of Church and State has provided the healthy environment out of which American Evangelicalism has developed and thrived, then this volume provides essential reading as to an important part of the story.- - John Briggs, Senior Research Fellow in Church History at Regent's Park College, Oxford University.

Book excerpt: Old Brick was first published in 1980. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. Charles Chauncy was a powerful and influential figure in his own time, but in historical accounts he has always been overshadowed by his contemporaries Benjamin Franklin and Jonathan Edwards. When he is remembered today, it is usually as Edwards's chief antagonist during the Great Awakening of the 1740s. Yet Chauncy's fellow New Englanders knew that there was more to the man than that. In the course of his 60-year tenure as a pastor of Boston's First Church (the "Old Brick"), Chauncy involved himself in most of the important intellectual, religious, and political issues of the century. Not only did he aggressively oppose the emotional revivalism of the Great Awakening, but he was also a bold pamphleteer and preacher in support of the American Revolution. In theology Chauncy became, as an old man, the leading advocate probably having scandalized his own forebears, but he insisted that he was true to his Protestant tradition and never abandoned his reliance on Scripture and Puritan discipline in favor of rationalist secularism. Old Brick,the first full-scale biography of Charles Chauncy, attempts to recover not only Chauncy the spokesman for the ideas of a great many colonial Americans, but also the complex man who struggled with himself and with the events of his time to arrive at those positions. The portrait of Chauncy that emerges is fuller, more comprehensive, and more balanced than the stereotypes and partial portraits that have thus far represented him in history. This biography now makes it possible to consider Chauncy a figure worthy of study in his own right and to take a fresh look at eighteenth-century New England in light of the tradition Chauncy represents.

Download or read book The First Freedoms written by Thomas J. Curry and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1987-12-03 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is government forbidden to assist all religions equally, as the Supreme Court has held? Or does the First Amendment merely ban exclusive aid to one religion, as critics of the Court assert? The First Freedoms studies the church-state context of colonial and revolutionary America to present a bold new reading of the historical meaning of the religion clauses of the First Amendment. Synthesizing and interpreting a wealth of evidence from the founding of Virginia to the passage of the Bill of Rights, including everything published in America before 1791, Thomas Curry traces America's developing ideas on religious liberty and offers the most extensive investigation ever of the historical origins and background of the First Amendment's religion clauses.
