The Heritage Of Hope Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Heritage of Hope Perchance you may look for a preface, Though why should I, friends, here rehearse The why and the how of my writing, When all is plain told in my verse. The world has its mirth-making authors, And glad would we be were there more; In wit I am sure I'm not trying, But just to heal hearts that are sore. I know if you read every poem You'll find a good moral in each, For never a line of my writing Is told just to please, but to teach. And so, friends, please wait with your verdict Till you have read all, every one Of my verses that here I have sent you; Then lay down the book when you're done And think of this wide world of sorrow, Of suffering, and longing, and pain. Then I fear not your verdict one moment; You know I've not written in vain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Heritage of Hope: A History of First Baptist Church, Wilmington, North Carolina, 1808-2008 Heritage and Hope is more than just a campaign slogan. Like the early Hebrew people who drew strength from the reminder that the God they worshipped and depended upon for life was the same One who was the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, this newest generation of Wilmingtonians who call First Baptist Church their spiritual home tell stories, myths and legends of matriarchs and patriarchs who made decisions and sacrifices that shaped the church into what it is today. Important questions that must be asked are, Are the stories true? Are all the facts of the stories told? What are the stories that are not told? Why aren't some stories told?

Excerpt from The Heritage of the Reformation Reformation. But while it is quite right to attribute a decisive sig nificance to Luther's deed which destroyed the claims of papa] supremacy over the whole of human life, it is not permissible to interpret this deed as if it had been inspired by a spirit akin either to the individualism of the Renaissance or to the individualistic freedom of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. For Luther protested against papal authority not because he desired to pit the authority Of his own mind against that of the papal church, but because he found it irreconcilable with the Word of God which he had rediscovered in the Bible. Luther can therefore hardly be regarded as the pioneer Of that secular individualism which found its most definitely marked expression in political liberalism, nor can he be considered as a pioneer of that religious individualism which is SO characteristic Of the thinking of many modern men. It is not surprising that Roman Catholics should be most prone to attribute to Luther an individualistic spirit and to make him then responsible for that divisiveness of modern civilization which has found expression in the modern cultural crises. They are inclined to idealize the unity of the cultural life which, under the leader ship of the church, supposedly prevailed in the Middle Ages, and, in consequence of this idealization, they lay the responsibility for the disunity of modern life at the door Of Luther and the Reform ers, hoping in the meantime that modern men will see the errors of their ways and return to the obedience Of the only institution Of salvation.
