Not illustrated. 1871 edition. Excerpt: ...in their infancy, you and they jointly renounce that Father, Son and Holy Ghost, whom we adore and worship as the only living and true God, and on whom we depend for all our salvation/'1 And what greater evil can any men be accused of in this wrorld For they who secretly enticed any away from the service of the true God, were to die without mercy. Deut. xiii. 6--11. But they who were sprinkled in infancy answered no conscience towards God at all, neither did it produce any change in them, as all experience who have any right to baptism. For all who have a right to that ordinance, are first made dead to sin, and alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death; that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Rom. vi. 2--11. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ. Gal. iii. 27. And this is done by the obedience of faith, and in no other way; and in vain do any accuse such of renouncing the only living and true God. But having such teaching from their ministers, a new law-book was published in Connecticut, in 1784, wherein, by one law, they gave all the societies that were before constituted, all their meeting-houses and ministerial lands, with power to support their ministers by tax An Address to his Anabaptist brethren; By Joseph Huntington, DD. 1783, p. 23. and compulsion. And then they made another law, as follows: --An act for securing the rights of conscience in matters of religion, to Christians of every denomination in this State. As the happiness of a people, and the good order of civil society, essentially depend upon piety, religion and morality, it is the duty of the..

"A historian who has been an actor in the events which he narrates, has peculiar advantages and disadvantages. He can write with more minuteness of detail, and with a fresher and more life-like coloring. He can write with more confidence, and, drawing from his own experience and observation, is in this respect more trustworthy. On the other hand, he is more liable to be warped by prejudice, to see only the excellences and none of the defects of those with whom he has been identified, and only the defects and none of the excellences of those to whom he has been opposed, to be a partizan rather than a judge, and to make his narration little more than the reflection of his personal opinions or his personal sympathy and affection, hostility and spite. "The Church History of Isaac Backus has all the above-named excellences. To a large extent he was an eye-witness of that which he describes; and where not an eye-witness, he placed himself in closest possible connection with it by personal acquaintance with the actors, and by immediate and most diligent and thorough examination of records and other evidence. While it may be too much to say that he absolutely avoided the defects above named, yet his sound judgment, his natural candor and honesty and his elevated Christian principle, have made him as nearly free from them as perhaps any author who has written in similar circumstances." --from the Editor's Preface

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.

Not illustrated. 1871 edition. Excerpt: ...me, My soul shall rest in everlasting peace, and my life shall enter into rest, /or being obedient to the God of my life. Marmaduke Stevenson, gave in another paper, informing the Court, how he heard a voice as he was plowing in York-'Williams, p. 207. Fox's Answer, pp. 229, 230. 1659. VIEWS OF THE QUAKERS ON INWARD LIGHT. 259 shire, saying, I have ordained thee a prophet unto the nations; and after he came to Rhode Island, he says: --The word of the Lord came unto me saying, Go to Boston, with thy brother William Robinson This is given forth to be upon record, that all people may know, who hear it, that Ave came not in our own will, but in the will of God.1 This was their way of following what they called the light, and the clearest account of what they meant thereby, that I have-seen, is contained in the following sentences directed to Mr. Williams, viz.: --Thou wrongest the Quakers in saying, they confess their light to be conscience. In this thou pervertest their words, and thou wouldest have it so; for George Fox's words are, The light which you call conscience, which is the light of Christ, as you may see all along in his book Thou hast read our books with an evil eye, or else thou mightest see how often we mention, that Christ hath bought us with a price, which is his blood; and how that all died in Adam, and how that Christ died for all, that they that live, might live to him; and that all might believe in him, who died for them; and if they do not, they are condemned with the light, which they should believe in Christ lighteth every man that cometh into the world,2 with life in him, the word and faith. He is the light of the world, and saith, Believe in the light, that ye may become children of light, and he that believeth is saved, ...

The Baptist Way is an introduction to the principles that distinguish Baptists from other Christians. In some cases these ideas were once peculiarly Baptists, though they are now more widely held among other groups. For Stan Norman, healthy Baptist churches intentionally and diligently adhere to their Baptist distinctives.

Winner of an Award of Merit in the Christianity Today Book Awards, History/Biography category On January 17, 1776, one week after Thomas Paine published his incendiary pamphlet Common Sense, Connecticut minister Samuel Sherwood preached an equally patriotic sermon. God Almighty, with all the powers of heaven, are on our side, Sherwood said, voicing a sacred justification for war that Americans would invoke repeatedly throughout the struggle for independence. In Sacred Scripture, Sacred War, James Byrd offers the first comprehensive analysis of how American revolutionaries defended their patriotic convictions through scripture. Byrd shows that the Bible was a key text of the American Revolution. Indeed, many colonists saw the Bible as primarily a book about war. They viewed God as not merely sanctioning violence but actively participating in combat, playing a decisive role on the battlefield. When war came, preachers and patriots alike turned to scripture not only for solace but for exhortations to fight. Such scripture helped amateur soldiers overcome their natural aversion to killing, conferred on those who died for the Revolution the halo of martyrdom, and gave Americans a sense of the divine providence of their cause. Many histories of the Revolution have noted the connection between religion and war, but Sacred Scripture, Sacred War is the first to provide a detailed analysis of specific biblical texts and how they were used, especially in making the patriotic case for war. Combing through more than 500 wartime sources, which include more than 17,000 biblical citations, Byrd shows precisely how the Bible shaped American war, and how war in turn shaped Americans' view of the Bible. Brilliantly researched and cogently argued, Sacred Scripture, Sacred War sheds new light on the American Revolution.
