Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of the Venerable Hugh Bourne When the writer of this biographical sketch was first asked by the Book Committee to undertake the task, he very respectfully declined, fearing lest he should not be able to perform it in a manner worthy of this most wonderful man and the great Connexion in which he took so prominent a part; but being asked again, after others had refused, he finally consented. He is fully aware that the work will not be deemed free from imperfections, especially in this, the first edition, but he humbly hopes that it may have the honour of passing rapidly through several succeeding editions. He has aimed to place as many facts in the life of this great man in as brief a space as it was possible to do, and allow those facts to speak for themselves. He trusts the work will lead to the study of first principles, and the elements which contributed mainly to the Connexion's prosperity in the early period of its history. The writer was conscious of one advantage which he possessed, that is, he was well acquainted with Hugh Bourne himself, having frequently taken part with him in Camp-meetings, Anniversaries, and other services. The writer hopes and prays that this work may prove a blessing to tens of thousands of our young people especially, and he humbly trusts that it may be useful to numerous Christians beyond the pale of our own denomination.

Download or read book Blood and Fire written by Nigel Scotland and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-08-11 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, historian Nigel Scotland examines ten powerful revival movements that hugely impacted the social life and culture of large sections of America and the British Isles. Revivals represent a high point of Christian experience, renewing and empowering the life and worship of Christian communities. In consequence they draw large numbers of new people to personal faith in Christ, which in turn brings lasting and positive change to social life and culture. In this book special attention is given to the ways in which vibrant Christian faith challenged racism, fought and overcame slavery, helped to birth trade unions, campaigned for temperance, led to a rapid growth in education, from Sunday schools to universities, provided equal opportunities for women, and renewed family life and relationships.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays examines the phenomenon of the gradually evolving cultural differences which took place between America and Britain after the American revolution. A culture of individualism began to emerge in contrast with elitism, leading to suspicion of government and emerging personal ambitions, particularly with regard to one's children. However, cultural changes emerged at a different pace in different parts of the country. One author argues that Britain and America continued as members of a single political family which, in turn, belonged to a wider European community. Another suggests that a clear but selective emancipation from the British political culture took place and that a development of distinctly American institutions and practices emerged. Yet another believes that in the United States there was less criticism of business success and less possibility of the generations that succeeded business success being seduced by gentrification.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The age of revolution, in which kings were dethroned, radical ideals of human equality embraced, and new constitutions written, was also the age of prophecy. Neither an archaic remnant nor a novel practice, prophecy in the eighteenth century was rooted both in the primitive worldview of the Old Testament and in the vibrant intellectual environment of the philosophers and their political allies, the republicans. In Doomsayers: Anglo-American Prophecy in the Age of Revolution, Susan Juster examines the culture of prophecy in Great Britain and the United States from 1765 to 1815 side by side with the intellectual and political transformations that gave the period its historical distinction as the era of enlightened rationalism and democratic revolution. Although sometimes viewed as madmen or fools, prophets of the 1790s and early 1800s were very much products of a liberal commercial society, even while they registered their disapproval of the values and practices of that society and fought a determined campaign to return Protestant Anglo-America to its biblical moorings. They enjoyed greater visibility than their counterparts of earlier eras, thanks to the creation of a vigorous new public sphere of coffeehouses, newspapers, corresponding societies, voluntary associations, and penny pamphlets. Prophecy was no longer just the art of applying biblical passages to contemporary events; it was now the business of selling both terror and reassurance to eager buyers. Tracking the careers of several hundred men and women in Britain and North America, most of ordinary background, who preached a message of primitive justice that jarred against the cosmopolitan sensibilities of their audiences, Doomsayers explores how prophetic claims were formulated, challenged, tested, advanced, and abandoned. The stories of these doomsayers, whose colorful careers entertained and annoyed readers across the political spectrum, challenge the notion that religious faith and the Enlightenment represented fundamentally alien ways of living in and with the world. From the debates over religious enthusiasm staged by churchmen and the literati to the earnest offerings of ordinary men and women to speak to and for God, Doomsayers shows that the contest between prophets and their critics for the allegiance of the Anglo-American reading public was part of a broader recalibration of the norms and values of civic discourse in the age of revolution.
