Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Social and Religious Conditions The consumption of liquor is on the increase. We are sometimes deceived by the statement that the consump tion of intoxicating liquor was greater during the times of our grandfathers than it is to-day, because in those days this practice was condoned or even encouraged. But statistics indicate that whereas in 1850 the per capita consumption of alcoholic liquors in the United States was gallons, in 1911 it was gallons. There has been a steady increase in the use of intoxicants, in Spite of the activity of the Church and temperance societies. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue reports that during the fiscal year ending in 1912 more whiskey and rum was produced than ever before in the history of the country. Stored in warehouses the country over are 263, gallons of this material. Incidentally it may be said that during the same period cigarettes were smoked, an increase over 1911 of nearly 2, 000, 000, 000. Here is a call to those who believe in the slogan for God, and home, and native land. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1960 publication of We Hold These Truths marked a significant event in the history of modern American thought. Since that time, Sheed & Ward has kept the book in print and has published several studies of John Courtney Murray's life and work. We are proud to present a new edition of this classic text, which features a comprehensive introduction by Peter Lawler that places Murray in the context of Catholic and American history and thought while revealing his relevance today. From the new Introduction by Peter Lawler: The Jesuit John Courtney Murray (1904-67) was, in his time, probably the best known and most widely respected American Catholic writer on the relationship between Catholic philosophy and theology and his country's political life. The highpoint of his influence was the publication of We Hold These Truths in the same year as an election of our country's first Catholic president. Those two events were celebrated by a Time cover story (December 12, 1960) on Murray's work and influence. The story's author, Protestant Douglas Auchincloss, reported that it was "The most relentlessly intellectual cover story I've done." His amazingly wide ranging and dense--if not altogether accurate--account of Murray's thought was crowned with a smart and pointed conclusion: "If anyone can help U.S. Catholics and their non-Catholic countrymen toward the disagreement that precedes understanding--John Courtney Murray can." . . . Murray's work, of course, is treated with great respect and has had considerable influence, but now it's time to begin to think of him as one of America's very few genuine political philosophers. His disarmingly lucid and accessible prose has caused his book to be widely cited and celebrated, but it still is not well understood. It is both praised and blamed for reconciling Catholic faith with the fundamental premises of American political life. It is praised by liberals for paving the way for Vatican II's embrace of the American idea of religious liberty, and it is

This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Society of Friends in America, Vol. 1 It is true, that no inconsiderable portions of the valuable histories both of Sewel and Gough, have reference to the proceedings of Friends in America. The details, however, which these furnish are confined principally to the sufferings of some of their early members or ministers in New England, and to transactions of the Society within the limits of Penn sylvania and the Jerseys. The present work embraces a much wider field, and aims to exhibit a distinct history of each individual Yearly Meeting of Friends in America from its rise down to a period comparatively recent. The new and unpublished materials relating to the Society of Friends in the western world, which, under many favour able circumstances the writer has been enabled to collect from various sources on both sides of the Atlantic, together with an easy access to numerous printed works of ancient date and of great scarcity, have placed within his reach the means of effecting the object to a much larger extent than he could have anticipated. And here he desires to acknow ledge the kind 'and valuable assistance which he has derived both from meetings and individuals, in the readiness with which they have allowed him access to mss., including some thousands of letters of early Friends; with other important historical documents of more recent date. In studying the history of the Society of Friends, it has appeared to the author important, rightly to understand the religious character and condition of the population amongst which our early Friends arose. With this View the chapter on the discovery and colonization of North America has been introduced, and though somewhat extended, it is hoped that its details will not be considered inappropriate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity and the Social Crisis Western civilization is passing through a social revolution unparalleled in history for scope and power. Its coming was inevitable. The religious, political, and intellectual revolutions of the past five centuries, which together created the modern world, necessarily had to culminate in an economic and social revolution such as is now upon us. By universal consent, this social crisis is the overshadowing problem of our generation. The industrial and commercial life of the advanced nations are in the throes of it. In politics all issues and methods are undergoing upheaval and re-alignment as the social movement advances. In the world of thought all the young and serious minds are absorbed in the solution of the social problems. Even literature and art point like compass-needles to this magnetic pole of all our thought. The social revolution has been slow in reaching our country. We have been exempt, not because we had solved the problems, but because we had not yet confronted them. We have now arrived, and all the characteristic conditions of American Hfe will henceforth combine to make the social struggle here more intense than anywhere else.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Civilization of the South American Indians: With Special Reference to Magic and Religion So far as the lower forms of civilization are concerned, there are, Iext to sociological field-work, no other investigations so urgently Ieeded as monographs on definite classes of social phenomena among t certain group of related tribes. Social facts are largely inﬂuenced Jy local conditions, by the physical environment, by the circum tances in which the people in question live, by their habits and Dental characteristics; and all these factors can, of course, much nore easily be taken into account when the investigation is confined o a single people, or one ethnic unit, than when it embraces a class )f phenomena as existing throughout the whole uncivilized world. Dr. Karsten's book combines the merits of the field-ethnologist with zhose of the monographer on a larger scale. His equipment for his ask is exceptional. He is a trained sociologist, and an acute and houghtful observer. He went to South America for the express ourpose of studying its native tribes. He has spent five years in zlose contact with savages in different parts of the continent, and earned their language. And he has carefully searched all the available iterature relating to the customs and beliefs of Indians in the various parts of the vast area with which he is dealing, and has thus been able to present, and comment upon, a large mass of facts falling mtside the field for his own direct inquiries and personal observa ion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from South America Today: Social and Religious Movements as Observed on a Trip to the Southern Continent in 1921 In calling attention to their developments, my purpose is not by any means to treat them exhaustively. I desire simply to bring to my readers a few facts and experiences of my trip to South America from March to July of 1921, with the hope that they will impress all interested, as they have me, with the rapidly changing conditions in South America. Most of my readers will be those particularly interested in the religious progress of the Southern continent. Believing, as I do, that these social problems are intimately bound up with the religious situation, it has seemed to me that it would be more helpful at this time to direct attention to the general situation, than to give a survey of Christian Work such as has been published following other visits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Nothing short of a masterpiece.” —NPR Books A New York Times Bestseller and a Washington Post Notable Book of the Year In the most ambitious one-volume American history in decades, award-winning historian Jill Lepore offers a magisterial account of the origins and rise of a divided nation. Widely hailed for its “sweeping, sobering account of the American past” (New York Times Book Review), Jill Lepore’s one-volume history of America places truth itself—a devotion to facts, proof, and evidence—at the center of the nation’s history. The American experiment rests on three ideas—“these truths,” Jefferson called them—political equality, natural rights, and the sovereignty of the people. But has the nation, and democracy itself, delivered on that promise? These Truths tells this uniquely American story, beginning in 1492, asking whether the course of events over more than five centuries has proven the nation’s truths, or belied them. To answer that question, Lepore wrestles with the state of American politics, the legacy of slavery, the persistence of inequality, and the nature of technological change. “A nation born in contradiction… will fight, forever, over the meaning of its history,” Lepore writes, but engaging in that struggle by studying the past is part of the work of citizenship. With These Truths, Lepore has produced a book that will shape our view of American history for decades to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative reassessment of religion and culture in the early days of the American republic "The so-called Second Great Awakening was the shaping epoch of American Protestantism, and this book is the most important study of it ever published."—James Turner, Journal of Interdisciplinary History Winner of the John Hope Franklin Publication Prize, the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic book prize, and the Albert C. Outler Prize In this provocative reassessment of religion and culture in the early days of the American republic, Nathan O. Hatch argues that during this period American Christianity was democratized and common people became powerful actors on the religious scene. Hatch examines five distinct traditions or mass movements that emerged early in the nineteenth century—the Christian movement, Methodism, the Baptist movement, the black churches, and the Mormons—showing how all offered compelling visions of individual potential and collective aspiration to the unschooled and unsophisticated.
