Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of the Reverend Devereux Jarratt: Rector of Bath Parish, Dinwiddie County, Virginia Biography is justly considered one of the most entertaining kinds of history, and if the characters are such as have, through many difficulties, been raised up to great and distinguished usefulness in their day and station, and are eminent for piety and virtue, what can be more interesting or tend more powerfully to excite others to go and do likewise? Friendly Reader, you are here presented with a character of this description. This book contains a plain, artless, unadorned account of the life and experience of the Rev. Devereux Jarrratt, who after having served his generation faithfully in his station, now rests from his labors. The memorial of virtue is immortal, it is approved of God and of men. The manuscript, in his own hand writing, has been in my possession several years before his decease, and esteemed by me as a treasure of no small value, had it never transpired, but being left with me for publication after his death, I consider it a deposit of too sacred a nature to be neglected. From some unavoidable circumstances it has been delayed longer than I could have wished. In the mean while, pressing solicitations, not a few, have been addressed to me to have it published. I consider it therefore a duty I owe to the public, as well as respect to the memory of a deceased friend and father in Christ, to send it forth into the world, for the instruction of all who maybe disposed to read it. The author's desire has in every particular been complyed with. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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 Interpreting the Self written by Diane Bjorklund and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2000-04-15 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this ambitious study, Diane Bjorklund explores the historical nature of self-narrative. Examining over 100 American autobiographers published in the last two centuries, she discusses not only well-known autobiographies such as Mark Twain and Andrew Carnegie but also many obscure ones such as a traveling book peddler, a minstrel, a hotel proprietress, an itinerant preacher, a West Point cadet, and a hoopskirt wire manufacturer. Bjorklund draws on the colorful stories of these autobiographers to show how their historical epoch shapes their understandings of self. "A refreshingly welcome approach to this intriguing topic. . . . [Bjorklund's] extensive and systematic approach to her source material is impressive and enriches our understanding of this essential subject."—Virginia Quarterly Review "Bjorklund studies both famous and obscure writers, and her clear prose style and copious quotations provide insight into the many aspects of the changing American self." —Library Journal

Download or read book Taking Heaven by Storm written by John H. Wigger and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1770 there were fewer than 1,000 Methodists in America. Fifty years later, the church counted more than 250,000 adherents. Identifying Methodism as America's most significant large-scale popular religious movement of the antebellum period, John H. Wigger reveals what made Methodism so attractive to post-revolutionary America. Taking Heaven by Storm shows how Methodism fed into popular religious enthusiasm as well as the social and economic ambitions of the "middling people on the make"--skilled artisans, shopkeepers, small planters, petty merchants--who constituted its core. Wigger describes how the movement expanded its reach and fostered communal intimacy and "intemperate zeal" by means of an efficient system of itinerant and local preachers, class meetings, love feasts, quarterly meetings, and camp meetings. He also examines the important role of African Americans and women in early American Methodism and explains how the movement's willingness to accept impressions, dreams, and visions as evidence of the work and call of God circumvented conventional assumptions about education, social standing, gender, and race. A pivotal text on the role of religion in American life, Taking Heaven by Storm shows how the enthusiastic, egalitarian, entrepreneurial, lay-oriented spirit of early American Methodism continues to shape popular religion today.
