Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women theologians in the eighteenth century were a rarity. Were there no other reason, this alone would make the literary legacy of the Baptist Anne (Williams) Dutton (1692-1765) significant. In 1731, Anne and her minister husband, Benjamin Dutton, settled in Great Gransden, Huntingdonshire. After Benjamin's death, Anne became known on both sides of the Atlantic primarily through her extensive writings, including tracts, treatises, poems, hymns, and letters. Among her many correspondents were Howel Harris, Selina Hastings, William Seward, Phillip Doddridge, John Wesley, and George Whitefield. Harris believed God had entrusted her "with a Talent of writing for Him." Whitefield, who helped promote and publish Anne's writings, commented upon meeting her that "her conversation is as weighty as her letters." She wrestled with the question of whether it was "biblical" for a woman to be a writer of theological matters. But in a tract entitled "A Letter to such of the Servants of Christ, who may have any scruple about the Lawfulness of Printing any thing written by a Woman" (1743), she stated that she wrote not for herself but "only the glory of God and the good of souls." Dutton's writings impacted evangelical revival in England and America. Not since 1884 have any of her writings been readily available. Now extensive portions of her letters, her tracts and booklets, and her poetry and hymns are once again available.
Download or read book The Spirituality of Anne Dutton written by David H. J. Gay and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-09 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The literary output of the 18th-century widow, Anne Dutton, who was a prodigious letter writer, is a veritable spiritual treasure-trove, jam-packed with gospel gems. David Gay, having selected from this rich deposit, and adding his own comments to the extracts, has produced a volume which he hopes will glorify God in the saving of sinners and edification of saints, as Dutton herself had hoped for her labours. The resultant work is a necessary and welcome antidote to the spiritual superficiality so prevalent today, dealing, as it does, with Conversion, the Priesthood of All Believers, Addresses to Sinners, Union with Christ, Assurance, Progressive Sanctification, Sandemanianism (the nature of saving faith) and the New Covenant. Here, on every page, is practical, scriptural theology at its best: God honouring, Christ centred, and all saturated with the Spirit's life and power. It is difficult to see how any believer could read this work and not be challenged, instructed, edified and warmed in heart.Foreword by Michael Haykin, Professor of Church History and Biblical Spirituality at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville.

Download or read book Anne Dutton Speaks Today written by David Gay and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anne Dutton transgressed 18th-century culture when she, as a woman, had the 'audacity' to publish theological works, largely in the form of letters, but many in her day found great profit in what she wrote. More important, even though there are big differences between the 18th and 21st centuries, since the eternal, spiritual verities concerning God, man and eternity are the same, her work has abiding value. Though she did not get everything right, David Gay is convinced Dutton had 'the root of the matter' in her, and he is persuaded that believers today badly need to hear what she spelled out, and so he has published this small work to let her speak today in order that believers might weigh her words in the light of Scripture. The question is: Do we have ears to hear, a heart to love, and a will to obey what God teaches in his word?

Download or read book Awakening Verse written by Wendy Raphael Roberts and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1740, Benjamin Franklin published the first American edition of Gospel Sonnets, by the eminent Scottish Presbyterian minister Ralph Erskine. The work, already in its fifth British edition, quickly became an American bestseller and remained so throughout the eighteenth century. Franklin was aware of what most scholars of American religion and literature have forgotten -that poetry played a central role in the "surprising works of God" that birthed evangelicalism. The far-reaching social transformations precipitated by the transatlantic evangelical revivals of the eighteenth century depended upon the development of a major literary form, that of revival poetry. Literary scholars and historians of religion have prioritized sermons, conversion narratives, periodicals, and hymnody. Wendy Roberts here argues that poetry offered a unique capacity to "diffuse celestial Fervor through the World," in the words of the cleric Samuel Davies. Awakening Verse is the first monograph to address this large corpus of evangelical poetry in the American colonies, shedding light on important dimensions of eighteenth-century religious and literary culture. Roberts deftly assembles a large, previously unknown archive of immensely popular poems, examines how literary history has rendered this poetic tradition invisible, and demonstrates how a vibrant popular poetics exercised a substantial effect on the landscape of early American religion, literature, and culture.
