Download or read book Raccoon John Smith written by John Sparks and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2005-12-23 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lexington, Kentucky, has the honor of being the birthplace of one of the first genuinely homegrown American Christian faiths: the Disciples of Christ. Established in 1832 by the union of two Christian groups led by Alexander Campbell and Barton W. Stone, their descendent churches are now referred to by religious scholars as the Stone-Campbell movement. In the state’s best tradition, this historic movement soon acquired its own larger-than-life legend: Raccoon John Smith, the flamboyant frontier preacher of the southern Kentucky mountains. Smith moved to the lowland Bluegrass and braved considerable odds to preach and establish the self-described “pure, nondenominational” Christianity of Stone and Campbell throughout the state and beyond. The 1832 union of Stone and Campbell’s churches was in fact formalized not by Stone and Campbell, but by Stone together with Smith, who represented Campbell’s constituency in Kentucky. Raccoon John Smith occupies a well-deserved place both in Kentucky and Stone-Campbell history. All previous biographical studies have been colored by the religious faith he embraced and the legends that evolved around him, however, rather than giving an accurate account of Smith’s life. In Raccoon John Smith, Elder John Sparks fills this void in the literature about Smith, using historical sources to present a faithful portrait of a seminal frontier preacher and colorful figure in early Kentucky history.
Book Synopsis Raccoon John Smith by : Elder Sparks
Download or read book Raccoon John Smith written by Elder Sparks and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2005-12-23 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Disciples of Christ, one of the first Christian faiths to have originated in America, was established in 1832 in Lexington, Kentucky, by the union of two groups led by Alexander Campbell and Barton W. Stone. The modern churches resulting from the union are known collectively to religious scholars as part of the Stone-Campbell movement. If Stone and Campbell are considered the architects of the Disciples of Christ and America’s first nondenominational movement, then Kentucky’s Raccoon John Smith is their builder and mason. Raccoon John Smith: Frontier Kentucky’s Most Famous Preacher is the biography of a man whose work among the early settlers of Kentucky carries an important legacy that continues in our own time. The son of a Revolutionary War soldier, Smith spent his childhood and adolescence in the untamed frontier country of Tennessee and southern Kentucky. A quick-witted, thoughtful, and humorous youth, Smith was shaped by the unlikely combination of his dangerous, feral surroundings and his Calvinist religious indoctrination. The dangers of frontier life made an even greater impression on John Smith as a young man, when several instances of personal tragedy forced him to question the philosophy of predeterminism that pervaded his religious upbringing. From these crises of faith, Smith emerged a changed man with a new vocation: to spread a Christian faith wherein salvation was available to all people. Thus began the long, ecclesiastical career of Raccoon John Smith and the germination of a religious revolution. Exhaustively researched, engagingly written, Raccoon John Smith is the first objective and painstakingly accurate treatment of the legendary frontier preacher. The intricacies behind the development of both Smith’s personal religious beliefs and the founding of the Christian Church are treated with equal care. Raccoon John Smith is the story of a single man, but in carefully examining the events and people that influenced Elder Smith, this book also serves as a formative history for several Christian denominations, as well as an account of the wild, early years of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
Download or read book John Smith written by J. Gordon Brown and published by Mainstream Publishing Company. This book was released on 1994 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Smith died on 12 May 1994, less that two years into his leadership of the Labour Party. In this biography, some of those people closest to Smith express their feelings about the man. His widow, Elizabeth, writes about how his life in politics and devotion to the Labour Party shaped their family life and about the faith that enabled her husband to keep up the fight when times were troubled. By drawing together some of his writings and speeches, Smith's close friend and political colleague, Gordon Brown, examines the passions and purposes of the man. This book also contains an assessment of John Smith as a politician and leader by journalist and broadcaster James Naughtie, who knew Smith well, having watched him since his time as Devolution Minister in the 1970s. He puts Smith's life in perspective, examining his background and the political times in which he moved. A further insight is gained into Smith from a selection of his articles and writings stretching back to the 1960s, collected together by his family. This book is illustrated with many previously unpublished family photographs.
Download or read book John Smith written by Mark Stuart and published by Politico's Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When John Smith died in May 1994 a nation mourned for an immensely popular politician who would have gone on to become a great Labour Prime Minister. Now, over ten years later, his family have granted Mark Stuart their full cooperation, and unlimited access to John Smiths private papers, to write the definitive, authorised account of his life. Stuart tells of Smith's strict Presbyterian upbringing and his youthful rebellion at Glasgow university where he started his lifelong friendship with Donald Dewer, through his stellar career at the Scottish bar and onto his political journey to become the most popular Labour leader of modern times. But the biography also reveals a darker side to personality: his heavy drinking and explosive temper which threatened to ruin his marriage. Peppered with insights and anecdotes culled from over three years of research and interviews, Mark Stuart has written the most important political biography of 2005.

Download or read book Free At Last written by Tony Benn and published by Random House. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 770 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tony Benn is the longest serving MP in the history of the Labour Party. He left Parliament in 2001, after more than half a century in the House of Commons, to devote more time to politics. This volume of his Diaries describes and comments, in a refreshing and honest way, upon the events of a momentous decade including two world wars, a change of government in Britain and the emergence of New Labour, of which he makes clear he is not a member. Tony Benn's account is a well documented, formidable and principled critique of the New Labour Project, full of drama, opinion, humour, anecdotes and sparkling pen-portraits of politicians on both sides of the political divide. But his narrative is also broader and more revealing about day-to-day political life, covering many aspects normally disregarded by historians and lobby correspondents, relating to his work in the constituency, including his advice surgeries. This volume also offers far more of an insight into Tony Benn's personal life, his thoughts about the future and his relationship with his family, especially his remarkable wife Caroline, whose illness and death overshadow these years. Tony Benn is a unique figure on the British political landscape: a true democrat, a passionate socialist and diarist without equal. With this volume, his published Diaries cover British politics for over sixty years. It is edited, as are all others, by Ruth Winstone.
