Andrew Fuller (1754-1815) was the leading Baptist theologian of his
era, though his works are just now being made available in a
critical edition. Strictures on Sandemanianism is the fourth volume
in The Works of Andrew Fuller. In this treatise, Fuller critiqued
Sandemanianism, a form of Restorationism that first emerged in
Scotland in the eighteenth century and was influencing the Scotch
Baptists of Fuller's day. Fuller's biggest concern was the
Sandemanian belief that saving faith is merely intellectual assent
to the gospel. Fuller believed this "intellectualist" view of faith
undermined evangelical spirituality. Strictures on Sandemanianism
became a leading evangelical critique of Sandemanian views. This
critical edition will introduce scholars to this important work and
shed light on evangelical debates about the faith, justification,
and sanctification during the latter half of the "long" eighteenth
century (ca. 1750 to 1815).
This is a reprint of the original 1845 book about the scriptural
legitimacy of slavery. ""Domestic Slavery"" originated in the
nineteenth century as a literary debate between two Baptist leaders
over the Bible's teachings on slavery. The chapters were originally
letters published in a Baptist newspaper in Boston, Massachusetts.
Southern pastor Richard Fuller and Northern educator Francis
Wayland were each able defenders of their respective positions.
These men were also good friends who believed that a difference of
opinion about slavery should not necessitate a breaking of
Christian fellowship. Unfortunately, these two Baptists leaders
proved naive in this regard. Just weeks after the publication of
the correspondence in book form, Fuller's Southern Baptist
Convention broke away from the larger Baptist denomination and
formed a new ecclesiastical body. A number of issues factored into
the division, though the slavery debate was what ultimately led to
the creation of a separate Baptist denomination in the South.
Historians of Southern religion consider ""Domestic Slavery"" to be
one of the major contributions to the nineteenth-century debate
over the peculiar institution. This critical edition of ""Domestic
Slavery"", which includes annotations and an appendix of related
documents, represents the first reprint of this important work to
be published since the mid-nineteenth century. Scholars of Southern
culture and religious history will benefit from a close examination
of what was undoubtedly the most significant Baptist contribution
to the slavery debate in the years leading to the Civil War.
