Book Description
Excerpt from Struggles for Life: Or the Autobiography of a Dissenting Minister Or memory may recall, after the lapse of twenty or thirty years of youth and early manhood that invaluable period of being in which, if a man is to do anything in this tumultuous market-place called the world, it must be done, or left undone for ever - scenes of strangely mingled com plexion, having all the colours of the rainbow, without its unity and beauty, and all the variety of a Persian bazaar, without its order and elegance. Alternations of hope and disappointment, satisfaction and grief, gladness and tears. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Autobiography of a Dissenting Minister Domination of any one sect of dissenters. Were the establishment to be destroyed, there would presently be a struggle amongst the sects for dominion and power; and secular enough as dissent already is, it would become greatly more so, if the vast fabric of the church were demolished. In the ensuing pages, there has been no attempt at exaggeration or high colouring, every thing has been set down calmly, and almost literally; care, however, being always taken to avoid every tendency to personality.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1835 edition. Excerpt: ...suspected that the young Socinian preacher was desirous of obtaining an antagonist merely for the sake of acquiring some celebrity, and making a noise in a quiet town. I consulted with the old gentleman whose pulpit I supplied, and he said, " Let him alone, let him alone, --ten years hence he will either be a Christian or an infidel; he is now neither one nor the other. " Finding that he could not attract a theological notice from thedissenters, the young man tried what he could do with the church, so he attacked the establishment, preached against tithes, the Thirty-nine Articles, and the Athanasian Creed; he also wrote long letters in the county newspaper, insulting the whole body of the clergy, calling them, by implication, knaves or fools, but telling them at the same time, what a great respect he had for their hearts and understandings. It was all in vain; he could excite no attention; for all that he could say was but a repetition of the old sophisms of Tom Paine and others of that class, which were all new to this young gentleman, but stale enough to the rest of the world. I have introduced this matter in this place because it was suggested by a mention of this liberal cutler, who, notwithstanding all his declarations, did, some time after I left the town of X--, join himself to the Socinians. I used very frequently to talk to him about the matter, and to caution him concerning the danger in which he stood; but he replied that it was but fair to hear both sides, and that he was not afraid that his faith could be shaken, and that it was only following the advice of the apostle, to try all things and hold fast that which is best. But I thought that a man could not know much about Christianity if he did not know when he had...

Book Description
The five-volume Oxford History of Dissenting Protestant Traditions series is governed by a motif of migration ('out-of-England'). It first traces organized church traditions that arose in England as Dissenters distanced themselves from a state church defined by diocesan episcopacy, the Book of Common Prayer, the Thirty-Nine Articles, and royal supremacy, but then follows those traditions as they spread beyond England -and also traces newer traditions that emerged downstream in other parts of the world from earlier forms of Dissent. Secondly, it does the same for the doctrines, church practices, stances toward state and society, attitudes toward Scripture, and characteristic patterns of organization that also originated in earlier English Dissent, but that have often defined a trajectory of influence independent ecclesiastical organizations. The Oxford History of Protestant Dissenting Traditions, Volume III considers the Dissenting traditions of the United Kingdom, the British Empire, and the United States in the nineteenth century. It provides an overview of the historiography on Dissent while making the case for seeing Dissenters in different Anglophone connections as interconnected and conscious of their genealogical connections. The nineteenth century saw the creation of a vast Anglo-world which also brought Anglophone Dissent to its apogee. Featuring contributions from a team of leading scholars, the volume illustrates that in most parts of the world the later nineteenth century was marked by a growing enthusiasm for the moral and educational activism of the state which plays against the idea of Dissent as a static, purely negative identity. This collection shows that Dissent was a political and constitutional identity, which was often only strong where a dominant Church of England existed to dissent against.
