Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Denominational Education: Its Necessity and Its Practicability; Especially as It Regards Colleges; An Address Delivered Before the Thalian and Phi-Delta Societies of Oglethorpe University It is high time that the public should be made acquainted with the distinction between Denominational and Sectarian Education, two things essentially distinct, but, in the common understanding, even of intelligent men, one and the same. To point out, however, the difference, and not merely the distinction between these two things, will be one object in this address. It is equally necessary that the public mind should be led to discriminate between denominations who cannot, or, at least, do not, teach Christianity in all its essential credenda, or things to be believed, and its agenda, or things to be performed, without indoctrinating the minds of their pupils with all the peculiarities of their ecclesiastical and ritual system, - and those who can, and do, leave these things in their proper sphere, and imbue the minds of their pupils only with the essential spirit and principles of Christianity. On this point, also, some hints will be offered, which may give to many a new and encouraging aspect of the much ms-understood system of Presbyterianism. But the entire argument will be found as applicable to other evangelical denominations, as to the one of which the author is a member. This discourse is addressed, with whatever ability the author possesses, and with whatever force the facts and arguments may wield, to the thinking minds among our people. With them the question of Education rests; their interests it involves; and by them must it be decided. And while the author would most respectfully solicit the attentive consideration of our rulers, legislators and politicians, as well knowing how mighty is their influence in moulding the opinions of their constituents, yet he is also aware how irresistible are the united and intelligent opinions of the wise and prudent among the people. Let, then, the fathers and mothers of our land study and examine this matter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
