Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Flashlights on Evangelical History: A Volume of Entertaining Narratives, Anecdotes and Incidents, Illustrative of the Evangelical Work Founded by Rev. Jacob Albright in A. D. 1800; Also Evangelical Daughters of Song The history of the Evangelical work inaugurated by Rev. Jacob Albright in 1800, is in many respects unique in character, and full of interesting epochs and incidents, which stand in sharp contrast with the staid denominational life of the older churches of that period. There are various, reasons for this, among which we may mention the non scholastic character of the "Albright" ministry and their evangelistic methods, which brought them, and their people, in strong and uncompromising opposition to the dead formalism of the period. Then, too, the aggressive and pioneer character of the Evangelical ministers opened a vast field of interest aside from the purely historical development of the Evangelical denominational work. While considerable material relating to these aspects of the Evangelical work has found its way into our denominational literature, still, no work specifically covering this field has hitherto appeared. Flashlights on Evangelical History seeks in a measure to supply this missing link, by presenting in a compact form much material illustrative of old Evangelical home life, individual character, denominational development, and Divine guidance, which we believe will prove to be a valuable addition to our historical and biographical literature. Most of the material of this work was derived directly from witnesses and participants of the incidents and events recorded. In some instances, however, we have availed ourselves of material already published because of its adaptation to the purposes of this work. Our "Flashlights" does not aspire to the character of a connected history, although we believe its materials have a permanent value. Its design is rather by the record of interesting narratives and incidents to make luminous the general field of Evangelical history. We have been told that our early preachers and people suffered great opposition and persecution. This book tells what and how they endured. "Flashlights" brings to view the stirring scenes of by-gone days. The nights of gloom and sorrow, as. well as the days of joy and gladness, are again brought to view.
