Book Description
There have been Baptist churches in the Midlands since at least 1626. This book describes their story from Stoke-on-Trent in the north, to Droitwich in the south, and from Rugby in the east, to Oswestry in the west, and covers the whole of the large West Midland conurbation surrounding Birmingham.This volume includes the whole range of Baptists who have arisen from different sources over the generations, whether or not they have been in organised Association life. Local historians will gain an insight into a vital aspect of their community’s story. Original texts have been used to let people and their churches speak for themselves. The story has been divided into periods of time, reaching 2009 when the office of the Heart of England Baptist Association (which covers most of the Baptist churches in this account) made a significant move to a new location in Selly Oak. Within each period important topics are highlighted, such as worship, social impact, church planting, etc. in this way considerable growth and important changes over the years are detailed. Some exciting stories emerge, such as the leading role Baptists had in the campaign to abolish slavery. The publication of Deep Roots, Living Branches is a contribution to the celebration of the 400th anniversary of the start of the world’s first Baptist church among English émigrés in Amsterdam in 1609. The book includes numerous line-drawings by the talented artist, the late Violet Kennard of Coventry.

The Complete Works of George Eliot
Author: George Eliot
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 6275
Book Description
The Complete Works of George Eliot encapsulates the vast literary contributions of one of the most iconic female authors of the Victorian era. Known for her insightful social commentary and complex character development, Eliot's work delves into the human psyche and societal norms of her time. Her writing style is characterized by meticulous attention to detail and a deep introspective exploration of moral dilemmas and human relationships. The collection includes classics such as 'Middlemarch,' 'The Mill on the Floss,' and 'Silas Marner,' all of which depict Eliot's talent for blending realism with emotional depth. George Eliot, born Mary Ann Evans, was a trailblazing writer who challenged the gender norms of her time. Her experiences as a woman in a male-dominated society undoubtedly influenced her keen observations on gender, class, and morality, which are prevalent themes in her writing. Eliot's unconventional personal life and intellectual pursuits further shaped her unique perspective and literary voice. I highly recommend The Complete Works of George Eliot to readers interested in exploring the complexities of human nature and society through the lens of a master storyteller. Eliot's insightful narratives and rich character portrayals continue to resonate with readers today, making this collection a timeless addition to any literary enthusiast's library.
