Calvinistic Controversy

Embracing A Sermon On Predestination And Election And Several Numbers, Formally Published In The Christian Advocate And Journal.

Beschreibung

A provocative, reverent meditation on fate, faith, and the human conscience, Calvinistic Controversy invites readers into a pivotal antebellum dialogue on predestination and election. A 1-2 line hook: a spiritual inquiry that tests the boundaries of belief, while inviting pastors, students, and curious readers to wrestle with a defining doctrine. This book offers a clear, accessible survey of a religious treatise and sermon collection that stands at the heart of theological controversy. Its form blends rigorous argument with vivid pastoral insight, revealing how scriptural determinism shaped both pulpit practice and lay reading in early America. The themes speak to today's audiences as much as to historical scholars, balancing doctrinal precision with humanised case studies that illuminate the life of the church and the conscience. Calvinistic Controversy carries substantial literary and historical significance, tracing ideas that informed the United States religious press and shaped American religious culture. It remains essential for anyone studying antebellum America, or exploring the evolution of Calvinist predestination and election theology within a broad evangelical milieu. The prose rewards careful reading, while the historical context enriches collectors as much as casual readers. Selling points: Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions; Restored for today's and future generations; More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. A welcome addition for classical-literature enthusiasts and scholars alike.

Autor

Willbur Fisk was a famous American Methodist minister, teacher, and philosopher who lived from August 31, 1792, to February 22, 1839. He led Wesleyan University for the first time. In Vermont, Fisk was born on August 31, 1792, in Guilford, which is near Brattleboro. He was born in Massachusetts and was the son of William Fisk, who came to America from England around 1637. His father, the Hon. Isaiah Fisk (1763-1859), was from Massachusetts. Hannah (1760-1845), his mother, was also from Massachusetts. She came from a family that came to America in 1640 with John Bacon. Isaiah and Hannah Fisk got married on May 2, 1786, and then they went to Guildford, where Isaiah's father, Amos Fisk, had bought land before the American Revolution. Isaiah Jr. was their first child. He was born in 1789 and died when he was a kid in 1793. Polly was born in Brattleboro in 1790. She was their second child. After two years, in 1792, their third child, Willbur, was born. Isaiah and Hannah had a hard time with money because of bad business decisions. They had to move their kids from Guilford to Lyndon, Vermont, which is in Caledonia County and only forty miles from the border between the US and Canada.
