The Early and Later Delaware Baptists by Richard Briscoe Cook Pdf
Baptist history in Delaware has a character and value all its own. It is unique. It is not distinguished simply by the place of its enactment, a corner cut off from a uniform piece of cloth. Its lessons are its own, and it teaches them in its own way. One lesson, especially, of utmost import it makes solemnly and sadly prominent. Perhaps nowhere else in this country has Antinomianism, with its natural, if not inseparable, attendants of anti-missionism, anti-Sunday-school-ism, and all the other kindred anti-isms, so impressively by its fruits proved its origin, nature, and doom. In doing this it has also proved with like certainty its antagonism to the genuine Baptist faith and practice. - Introduction.

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. 1880 edition. Excerpt: ... an Association was formed among the Baptists of Delaware, but at what date he is unable to say. It seems from the following, published in 1830, that the date of organization was 1795: "The Constitution of the Delaware Baptist Association, ratified and confirmed by the delegates of the Welsh Tract, Cow Marsh, Duck Creek, Queen Anne's, Wilmington, and Mispillion churches, the 24th day of October, A. D. 1795." This document is signed by the Pastors of the churches at that time, and by one delegate from each church. Other proof is not wanting. Five of these churches were in Delaware, and one probably in Maryland. Several churches in Pennsylvania soon joined the Association, those of them connected with the Philadelphia Association withdrawing for the purpose. According to the Minutes of the Philadelphia Association, of 1794, the Cow Marsh, Welsh Tract, Duck Creek, and Wilmington churches requested "approbation and dismission" from the Association "to join another." It was voted that as the relation had been a long and happy one, they would be glad to have it continue; but if they wished to withdraw, consent was granted. They withdrew, and formed the Delaware Association, as we have seen. One, the Mispillion, came from the Salisbury Association. It seems, then, that union between Delaware and Pennsylvania churches in a Delaware Association is no new thing. Benedict says that the Delaware Association was a corresponding body of the Philadelphia Association as early as 1798, but the Philadelphia Association sent both letter and messenger to them in 1796, which was the first meeting held after the organization. At the same meeting of the Philadelphia Association, Dr. Rogers and Rev. T. Ustick were appointed to...

The American Baptist church originated in British North America as "little tabernacles in the wilderness," isolated seventeenth-century congregations that had grown into a mainstream denomination by the early nineteenth century. The common view of this transition casts these evangelicals as radicals who were on society's fringe during the colonial period, only to become conservative by the nineteenth century after they had achieved social acceptance. In Bodies of Belief, Janet Moore Lindman challenges this accepted, if oversimplified, characterization of early American Baptists by arguing that they struggled with issues of equity and power within the church during the colonial period, and that evangelical religion was both radical and conservative from its beginning. Bodies of Belief traces the paradoxical evolution of the Baptist religion, including the struggles of early settlement and church building, the varieties of theology and worship, and the multivalent meaning of conversation, ritual, and godly community. Lindman demonstrates how the body—both individual bodies and the collective body of believers—was central to the Baptist definition and maintenance of faith. The Baptist religion galvanized believers through a visceral transformation of religious conversion, which was then maintained through ritual. Yet the Baptist body was differentiated by race and gender. Although all believers were spiritual equals, white men remained at the top of a rigid church hierarchy. Drawing on church books, associational records, diaries, letters, sermon notes, ministerial accounts, and early histories from the mid-Atlantic and the Chesapeake as well as New England, this innovative study of early American religion asserts that the Baptist religion was predicated simultaneously on a radical spiritual ethos and a conservative social outlook.

Wilmington in Vintage Postcards by Marjorie G. McNinch Pdf
Situated strategically in the midst of such large urban centers as Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York City, the city of Wilmington, Delaware, boasts its own unique character as well as a fascinating and continuously evolving history that has spanned more than 350 years. Officially chartered in 1832, this determined community has steadily developed a prosperous business economy--fueled in earlier times by the demands of war and more recently by a liberal tax structure--as well as a dynamic residential life for the thousands who make Wilmington home.
The Early Baptists of Virginia (Classic Reprint) by Robert Boyle C. Howell Pdf
Excerpt from The Early Baptists of Virginia The book which is here offered to the public is an enlargement of an Address delivered by Dr. Howell, in New York, in 1856, before the American Baptist Historical Society, and then published by the Society in pamphlet form. Soon after its publication, in 1857, he expanded it into a book, and a subsequent revision in 1864 gave it its present form. The interest which the original attempt to set forth the character and work of early Virginia Baptists excited, induces the hope that the present completer work may be received by Baptists everywhere as a valuable contribution to their history. It commends itself indeed to all students of history, and especially to the friends of religious liberty, as a careful delineation (drawn for the most part from original sources) of a part of one of the great movements of modern society.

From the Founding Fathers through the present, Christianity has exercised powerful influence in the United States—from its role in shaping politics and social institutions to its hand in inspiring art and culture. The Encyclopedia of Christianity in the United States outlines the myriad roles Christianity has played and continues to play. This masterful five-volume reference work includes biographies of major figures in the Christian church in the United States, influential religious documents and Supreme Court decisions, and information on theology and theologians, denominations, faith-based organizations, immigration, art—from decorative arts and film to music and literature—evangelism and crusades, the significant role of women, racial issues, civil religion, and more. The first volume opens with introductory essays that provide snapshots of Christianity in the U.S. from pre-colonial times to the present, as well as a statistical profile and a timeline of key dates and events. Entries are organized from A to Z. The final volume closes with essays exploring impressions of Christianity in the United States from other faiths and other parts of the world, as well as a select yet comprehensive bibliography. Appendices help readers locate entries by thematic section and author, and a comprehensive index further aids navigation.
