This Is A New Release Of The Original 1855 Edition.
This Is A New Release Of The Original 1853 Edition.
Beecher's perspective and style very much reflect the best aspects
of Nineteenth Century America prior to the Civil War. This does not
mean that it comes from a time of great peace and tranquility, but
rather that it is fraught with the angst that eventually resulted
in the Civil War. The fact that this book is thoroughly modern, but
not postmodern makes it a very interesting for anyone who truly
wants to understand the world we actually live in today. Beecher
was not a backwater hick or a Southern sympathizer, but represents
the best of American theology and literature of his day. His sister
was the famous Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Tom's Cabin.
Edward was widely recognized as the best scholar among the
Beechers, and the Beecher family produced an amazing array of
scholars. Interestingly, his scholarship landed him in conflict
with the religious pundits of every stripe in his day. The two
conflicting trends in Nineteenth Century America involved the
consolidation of Reformation churches, which had become the
American Establishment, and the rejection of religious
establishment mentality that has been described by many as a
continuation of the principle of the Reformation.
