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.

++++ The Ten Laws: A Foundation For Human Society Edward Beecher
Mason A. D. F. Randolph, 1897 Ten commandments
This is a dangerous book, dangerous because it deals with perhaps
the most serious conflict in history, and I commend it with some
trepidation. That conflict began in Genesis and has continued
unabated through history. Beecher's book was originally published
when America was deeply conflicted over the Great Awakenings and
the New School/Old School controversies that set the stage for the
American Civil War. Beecher wrote, ..".soon after the opening of
the Reformation, the power of that system was so far broken, and
consistent and free thought had so much more scope, that the whole
system was so modified as better to accord with the fundamental
principles of the Pelagian theory of human nature. The same was
true in the case of Dr. John Taylor. The doctrine of the Trinity
was dropped in each case. Yet, at first, the whole system was not
reduced to its natural and consistent level. Socinus still retained
the worship of Christ, and persecuted Davides for dissenting from
his views. Dr. J. Taylor approximated as near to the Trinity as the
Arianism of Dr. S. Clarke would allow. He also did not remove from
his doctrine all the language which belonged to the orthodox
doctrine of the atonement. It was not until the close of the last
and the beginning of the present century that the principles of the
Pelagian theory were fully and consistently developed in modern
Unitarianism" (p. 272). The world and the Christian churches had
turned toward Pelagianism and away from the Trinity, and Beecher
sought a solution to this problem. Many people today have come to
realize that something very fundamental or basic has gone awry in
Christendom and in the world. There are calls for reformation and
revival coming from nearly every corner of the church and the world
today. Ross calls for Beecher's work to be reevaluated afresh and
works to correct Beecher's infatuation with preexistence by
sug-gesting a Trinitarian solution to the problem Beecher
presented. Edward Beecher (1803-1895), a noted theologian, the son
of Lyman Beecher and brother to Harriet Beecher Stowe and Henry
Ward Beecher, was senior editor of The Congregationalist
(1849-1855), and an associate editor of the Christian Union from
1870.
