Sinossi
Excerpt from A History of New England, Vol. 2: With Particular Reference to the Denomination of Christians Called Baptists
The powers of thinking and choice are so essential to all rational spirits, that without them no idea can be formed of their existence. A desire of the knowledge and enjoyment of the best good, also appears essential to their nature. Therefore, as finite knowledge is limited, finite spirits would ever be liable to err, if they had not some sufficient guard against it. And the best guard we can conceive of, is a clear, fixed persuasion in the heart, that God is the only fountain of all good and that every desirable good is to be obtained and enjoyed in the way of obedience to his revealed will, and nowhere else.
That he is the absolute Proprietor, and the sovereign Ruler of the worlds he has made, is a truth too evident for any but madmen to deny. All nations have been forced to appeal to him, to avenge injustice and perjury, in order to establish any government among themselves. Yet how far have they been from a willingness to be governed entirely by him! He made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions. Objects of wor ship and forms of worship, even without number, have been invented by mankind; the folly whereof God has exposed in all his dispensations Yet self-conceit, self-seeking, and self-dependence, are still the ruining errors of the world.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history of the Baptist community in New England, the role it has played and the sometimes extreme adversity it has faced throughout its history. The author, a Baptist historian, chronicles the experiences of these congregations through the lens of religious tensions, shifting political tides, and the complexities of human nature. The work includes discussion of societal, religious and political issues, including the growing divide between the Baptist and Quaker communities and the ways in which oppression can lead to both positive and negative outcomes for a religious community. Ultimately, this history of the Baptists in New England is a story of triumph over adversity, resilience of faith, and the uniquely American development of religious freedom.
