"The recent reprint of The Baptist Catechism has given families and study classes a helpful tool for memorizing the great doctrines of the Christian faith. Now, a hidden jewel, Benjamin Beddome's 'A Scriptural Exposition of the Baptist Catechism, ' takes its place alongside the Catechism to give much needed assistance to the same families and classes. Beddome shows how the doctrines contained in the Catechism are founded upon Scripture, and explains them for all to understand. This is indeed a wonderful instrument to make skilled craftsmen from apprentices " - Dr. James M. Renihan

The author of this work, Benjamin Beddome, is known to the denomination, in this country, chiefly by means of his excellent hymns. To those who are familiar with the effusions of his poetical genius, and who are conscious of having derived spiritual benefit from them, some further account of the author and of his writings will doubtless be acceptable. Benjamin Beddome was the son of the Rev. John Beddome, pastor of the Baptist Church in the Pithay, Bristol; and was born at Henley, January 23, 1717. He was baptized in London, by the Rev. Samuel Wilson, of Prescott Street, in the year 1739; and by that church, the mother of many illustrious sons, he was called to the work of the ministry. Having spent some time as a student under the Rev. Bernard Foskett, of the Bristol Academy, and afterwards at the Independent Academy, Mile-end, London, he went to Bourton-on-the-Water, in July, 1740; and was ordained pastor of the church, September 23, 1743. Mr. Foskett, his former tutor, gave the charge, founded upon 1 Tim. iv. 12, " Let no man despise thy youth;" Dr. Joseph Stennett preached to the church from Heb. xiii. 17, " Obey them that havethe rule over you;" Messrs. Hayden, Cook, and Fuller of Abingdon prayed; and Mr. Foskett offered the ordination prayer, with the laying on of hands by the pastors. The early intercourse of Beddome with those pious and learned men, Wilson and Foskett, exercised a happy influence in forming his character and directing his subsequent pursuits. Their counsels and instructions stimulated him to the acquisition of sound and liberal knowledge, while their own example presented a forcible illustration of the high uses which it might be made to subserve, in the ministry of reconciliation.* He became an indefatigable student; and soon acquired a distinguished repu...

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.
