Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Light on a people's forward path comes from behind - from the past. Because Cumberland Presbyterians are eager for illumination for their ongoing mission this set of books have been written. In ÒA People Called Cumberland PresbyteriansÓ three writers have endeavored to directly and effectively present the convictions, dedication and purpose that formed this Presbyterian denomination on the American frontier and have impelled it through more than 160 years to the present. The books illuminate some of the most distinctive traits of the church. Many persons and events come to life in it. Not only the better known heroes and heroines of the movement are presented, but also many of the lesser known who play colorful and significant roles, and details typical of the ongoing life of the church are here, along with accounts of the stirring hours of its history.

Excerpt: ...It has no authority to say what the church shall teach, nor what any man shall believe. It can only punish men for the commission of crime. Nor can the church intrude into the domain of the state. It may humbly petition the state in cases extraordinary, but its dealings with civil government are usually through the individual, by preaching "the gospel to every creature," and endeavoring to make men good citizens, by making them good Christians. The utmost punishment any church court may rightfully inflict is excommunication. To take a man's property, his liberty, or his life, for his opinions or his conduct, however bad, is not within the scope of its charter, given by her Great Head, the Lord Jesus Christ. The lust for power first corrupted the church and built up the papacy. This same lust demanded control of the civil governments, and, in many cases, succeeded in using it for the punishment of heretics. Having received the church into this copartnership, the state often turned upon the church and forced it to act contrary to the will of its divine Lord. The church cannot have two kings and be at peace, and highly significant was the inscription on the Covenanters' banner, "Christ our King and Covenant." The Church of the Reformation did not grasp this great principle at once. It held that the state must indeed leave the church free, but should at the same time support it. Along this line the struggles of ages were carried on, until it began to dawn upon the consciousness of the church that in the world there are two distinct governments--the civil, with its temporal laws and penalties, and the church, with its spiritual laws and penalties. The great questions of theology, or the-being of God, were settled, in human...

This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The People's History of Prebyterianism in All Ages Books are written to be read, not to lie on dusty shelves. But this is a busy age, and most persons will not take time to read extensive treatises. The people call for short sermons, short prayers, and short books. Nor is this demand without reason; for life itself is short, and there is much to do. The present volume has been prepared with the design of placing within the reach of every one a brief history of Presbyterianism, at small cost to the reader, both of money and time. On this account it has been necessary to omit a great deal of interesting and instructive matter. It is better that the many should know the principles and outline of a history, with its most important events and characters, than that the few should know everything connected with it.

"A member of the congregation of Norrington applied to the synod, supplicating the ordination of Mr. Kinkead, as fast as our stated rules and methods Till permit. The synod, at considerable length, heard the reasons offered by the Presbyteries of Philadelphia and Newcastle why they could not attend on the trials and ordination, so as to answer the request of the congregations. The congregations of Great Valley and Norrington belonging to Philadelphia Presbytery, they ordered that said presbytery should attend the trials and manage the ordination; and, lest a delay should be occasioned by the paucity and distance of the members, Mr. Cathcart is ordered to correspond with said presbytery as an assistant." He was ordained, and the synod ordered him "to correspond with Newcastle Presbytery in August." In 1754, he spent three months in Virginia, and was dismissed from his charge, and was publicly disowned by the presbytery, in 1757. Immediately on the union, (May 31, 1758, ) Philadelphia Presbytery directed Gilbert Tennent to write to him, and inform . him that he must desist from preaching at Middletown, (now in Delaware county, Pennsylvania, ) as it was offensive to the congregation and to the presbytery. He was informed of the time of the next meeting. The records of the presbytery furnish no further notice of him; but, in 1759, at his request, the synod appointed a committee to converse with him. "He came next day, and gave in a paper to the synod, as, he says, for his own exoneration, in order to his continuing a member. The synod, having never excluded him, concluded to consider and deal with him as a member. The minute being read to him, he refused membership notwithstanding." Windham, in New Hampshire, obtained his services, and...
