Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Awakening of 1740 I. Let me begin by noting some of the political and material facts of history at this time. And the first thing that strikes us Americans is that this great republic of the Western world had not then come into being. There was in America only a line of colonies on the Atlantic seaboard, con taining not more than two millions of in habitants. New York, Boston, and Phila delphia were hardly more than overgrown villages. George II. Was our king. Slavery existed in Massachusetts and Connecticut, as well as in Georgia and South Carolina, while numbers of Indians swarmed around the young and growing settlements. Yet the colonies were so far established as to have come into a secure and comfortable position, while the disaffection toward the mother country, that afterward produced the Revolution, had not then arisen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Next Great Awakening There are two types of Christianity, the old and the older. The one is traditional, familiar, and dominant. The other, though as old as the Gospel of Christ, is so rare that it is suspected of being new, or is overlooked altogether. They are not to be distinguished by any of the old lines of doctrinal or denominational cleavage. Their difference is one of spirit, aim, point of view, comprehensiveness. The one is individualistic; the other is social. The social type of Christianity, like most things which are partially understood, is misunderstood.

Download or read book The Great Awakening written by Joseph Tracy and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Awakening: A History of the Revival of Religion in the Time of Edwards and Whitefield During the year 1840, public meetings were held in some places, and proposed in others, in commemoration of what Edwards called "The Revival of Religion in New England in 1740." This first suggested to the author the design of the present work. No history of that revival had ever been attempted. Its importance in itself, and in its influence on the subsequent state of the churches, was universally acknowledged. Yet opinions concerning it were various and discordant, even among evangelical ministers; some thinking it worthy of unmixed eulogy in public celebrations, others speaking of it with only guarded and qualified commendation, and others doubting whether it should not be mentioned rather with censure than otherwise. For the last ten years, too, the advocates of all kinds of "measures," new and old, have been asserting that the events and results of that revival justified their several theories and practices. There was, therefore, evident need of a work, which should furnish the means of suitably appreciating both the good and the evil of that period of religious history. The next question was concerning its possibility. Could materials be found, for the construction of such a work? A slight investigation was sufficient to furnish an answer. The public libraries contain abundant materials, of which some account must now be given. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Religion and the American Mind written by Alan Heimert and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2006-10-01 with total page 691 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the richness of American thought and experience in the mid-eighteenth century, Alan Heimert develops the intellectual and cultural significance of the religious divisions and debates engendered by one of the most critical episodes in American intellectual history, the Great Awakening of the 1740's. The author's concern throughout is to discover what were the essential issues in a dispute that was not so much a controversy between theologians as a vital competition for the ideological allegiance of the American people. This is not a standard history of any one area of ideas. Mr. Heimert's sources include nearly everything published in America from 1735. His study, in its range and conception, is an original contribution to an understanding of the relationship between colonial religious thought and the evolution of American history.
Download or read book Revivalism and Separatism in New England 1740 1800 written by C. C. Goen and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C. C. Goen's landmark study on the effects of revivalism during the latter half of the 18th century filled a great void in understanding the Great Awakening, and it continues to influence the work of scholars today. Full of artful contextualization of the issues that plagued colonial churches, Revivalism and Separatism in New England, 1740-1800 documents the ways in which revivalism helped pave the way for a new religious identity in America. Goen underscores how these congregations responded to state involvement in matters of religion and sheds new light on the development of the Baptist denomination by locating its growth within fringe communities in New England rather than organized structures in the Middle Colonies.

Download or read book The Great Awakening written by Thomas S. Kidd and published by Macmillan Higher Education. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed examination of the First Great Awakening, this volume presents a valuable study of the spiritual movement that profoundly shaped colonial American cultural and religious life. Thomas Kidd's comprehensive introduction relies on recent scholarship to describe three contemporary views of the revivals: those of radicals in favor of them, moderates supporting them, and antirevivalists attacking them. The views and experiences of these participants and critics emerge through nearly 40 documents organized into topical sections. By expanding coverage of the radicals and the ordinary people, including women, African Americans, and Native Americans, who joined the revival movement, Kidd gives students an opportunity to hear a broader collection of voices from colonial American society. The volume also includes illustrations, headnotes to the documents, a chronology of the Great Awakening, a selected bibliography, questions to consider, and an index.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Awakening: The Story of the Twenty-Second Century Had I been carried to some other house, to some hospital? Was I still sick? I did not suffer; on the contrary I felt in the best of health; and then, as the dismal thoughts of the weeks of suffering I had undergone came back to me, I concluded I must be dreaming. Well, thought I, if by dreaming I can still the pain which tortured me, let me but dream forever! I lay quietly on my back, and began to look around the room. At my left was a large window looking out upon a park filled with beautiful large maples, their branches moving softly with the gentle breeze across the room a large fireplace met my gaze, with a mantel surmounting, on which there was a clock and some vases, and I distinctly heard the clock ticking. A most marvellous dream, thought I. As my eyes wandered about, now stopping to admire some pictures, now examining curi ously some article of furniture wholly new to me, a little door above the dial of the clock opened, a miniature head was pushed out, and a soft, delightful voice said pleasantly, It is now ten o'clock.

Download or read book Westward into Kentucky written by Chester Raymond Young and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his youth Daniel Trabue (1760–1840) served as a Virginia soldier in the Revolutionary War. After three years of service on the Kentucky frontier, he returned home to participate as a sutler in the Yorktown campaign. Following the war he settled in the Piedmont, but by 1785 his yearning to return westward led him to take his family to Kentucky, where they settled for a few years in the upper Green River country. He recorded his narrative in 1827, in the town of Columbia, of which he was a founder. A keen observer of people and events, Trabue captures experiences of everyday life in both the Piedmont and frontier Kentucky. His notes on the settling of Kentucky touch on many important moments in the opening of the Bluegrass region.
Download or read book Evangelizing the South written by Monica Najar and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-01-22 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although many refer to the American South as the "Bible Belt", the region was not always characterized by a powerful religious culture. In the seventeenth century and early eighteenth century, religion-in terms both of church membership and personal piety-was virtually absent from southern culture. The late eighteenth century and early nineteenth century, however, witnessed the astonishingly rapid rise of evangelical religion in the Upper South. Within just a few years, evangelicals had spread their beliefs and their fervor, gaining converts and building churches throughout Virginia and North Carolina and into the western regions. But what was it that made evangelicalism so attractive to a region previously uninterested in religion?Monica Najar argues that early evangelicals successfully negotiated the various challenges of the eighteenth-century landscape by creating churches that functioned as civil as well as religious bodies. The evangelical church of the late eighteenth century was the cornerstone of its community, regulating marriages, monitoring prices, arbitrating business, and settling disputes. As the era experienced substantial rifts in the relationship between church and state, the disestablishment of colonial churches paved the way for new formulations of church-state relations. The evangelical churches were well-positioned to provide guidance in uncertain times, and their multiple functions allowed them to reshape many of the central elements of authority in southern society. They assisted in reformulating the lines between the "religious" and "secular" realms, with significant consequences for both religion and the emerging nation-state.Touching on the creation of a distinctive southern culture, the position of women in the private and public arenas, family life in the Old South, the relationship between religion and slavery, and the political culture of the early republic, Najar reveals the history behind a religious heritage that remains a distinguishing mark of American society.
