Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Magazine of New England History, 1891 If we go back to the year 1755 we shall come to the time from which to date the commencement of the history of the Baptist denomination in New Hampshire. In that year the First Baptist church, now in existence in the state, was formed in the town of Newton, in the county of Rockingham. It was a time when the standing order, as it was termed, was the dominant religious power within our borders, and to whose mandates all were expected to render obedience. In this order we find an illustration of the union of church and state. The town in connection with the church, called and settled the minister, paid his salary in money or in those things that he needed to supply his wants, built the meeting house and parsonage, levied the rates upon the inhabitants; and all were expected to pay or suffer the penalty prescribed by law. The Baptists in New Hampshire, in the last century, bore the brunt of the battle for religious toleration, as the records of the church in Newton and other churches amply attest. Near the middle of the eighteenth century a remarkable man came from England to this country and exerted a great influence in the religious world. It was George Whitefield, the friend and contemporary of John Wesley. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
