Book Description
Excerpt from Life and Letters of Mrs. Phoebe Palmer Every question found there its solution, and every plan or movement was referred to that standard, and not to feeling or impulse. This constant habit preserved her, on the one hand, from the wildness of fanaticism, and on the other, from the depths of mysticism On a few occasions, subsequently, when I heard her at campcmeetings, I noticed the same constant and persistent appeal to Di vine truth. It was to this abundant element and habit, I ascribed much of her power. Few women have ever trav cled so extensively, addressed so many audiences, or brought so many to the foot of the cross.

The Way of Holiness
Author: Phoebe Palmer
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
Phoebe Palmer's excellent Christian devotional is filled with lessons on attaining spiritual closeness to God, and living a life of a true believer with the Bible close to heart. Superb for her thoroughness in selecting the finest lessons from scripture, Phoebe Palmer begins each chapter of this book with a short yet poignant verse or quotation. This work is an account of the author's own discovery of faith, given in the order of spiritual awakenings she received in the process of becoming a good Christian. With her talent for plain explanation through both poem and text, the author mentions chapters of the Bible most useful for readers to reference. Part of this work is introspective, as Palmer observes the gradual change in her spirit as she endeavors to attain true nearness to God. Yet her narration is also part-biographical, recounting incidents and encounters with people who had a lasting effect on her spiritual journey. As one of the first female Christian writers, Palmer is conscious of her gender and the potential that this book might inspire and awaken the spirits of fellow women. Above all however, she is focused upon the path and way to holiness; a journey on which all believers must walk in mindful reverence of the divine.

Religion Around Emily Dickinson
Author: W. Clark Gilpin
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 0271065710
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
Religion Around Emily Dickinson begins with a seeming paradox posed by Dickinson’s posthumously published works: while her poems and letters contain many explicitly religious themes and concepts, throughout her life she resisted joining her local church and rarely attended services. Prompted by this paradox, W. Clark Gilpin proposes, first, that understanding the religious aspect of the surrounding culture enhances our appreciation of Emily Dickinson’s poetry and, second, that her poetry casts light on features of religion in nineteenth-century America that might otherwise escape our attention. Religion, especially Protestant Christianity, was “around” Emily Dickinson not only in explicitly religious practices, literature, architecture, and ideas but also as an embedded influence on normative patterns of social organization in the era, including gender roles, education, and ideals of personal intimacy and fulfillment. Through her poetry, Dickinson imaginatively reshaped this richly textured religious inheritance to create her own personal perspective on what it might mean to be religious in the nineteenth century. The artistry of her poetry and the profundity of her thought have meant that this personal perspective proved to be far more than “merely” personal. Instead, Dickinson’s creative engagement with the religion around her has stimulated and challenged successive generations of readers in the United States and around the world.
