Autobiography

Languages : en
Pages : 478
Book Description
Excerpt from Autobiography: Intellectual, Moral, and Spiritual Have never been a backslider in heart, but my face has ever been heavenward. Not long after my conver sion I attained, by long and fervent prayer, to that form of fa]? Assurance in which I could say most unhesitatingly, I know that I love God, and have eternal life. This assurance of present acceptance, after a time, merged into full assurance of hope, an assurance which has not, and never had, any connection with the belief that a soul, once converted, is absolutely certain of final salva tion. At the time of my conversion, the eyes of my understanding were enlightened to know my past character and life as they were, even to a discernment of the thoughts and intents of the heart. No one who has not been thus enlightened can form the remotest apprehension of the utter and absolute abhorrence with which that old and godless life was regarded by me at that time. The thought of perdition was not, in my distinct regard, so fearful as was the idea of a return to that old life. Hence it was that for a long period I made it the constant subject of specific and most earnest prayer, that God would keep me from apostasy, and also from being a backslider, even in heart. The result was, that I became possessed of a fixed inward assurance, into which no element of doubt entered, that I should have grace to hold the beginning of my confidence stead fast unto the end. As far as the question of present acceptance and final salvation is concerned, I have, during these sixty-five years, served God without fear; - would that I could add, in regard to them all.

The Philosopher's Autobiography
Author: Shlomit C. Schuster
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313013284
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Throughout the ages philosophers have examined their own lives in an attempt both to find some meaning and to explain the roots of their philosophical perspectives. This volume is an introduction to philosophical autobiography, a rich but hitherto ignored literary genre that questions the self, its social context, and existence in general. The author analyzes representative narratives from antiquity to postmodernity, focusing in particular on three case studies: the autobiographies of St. Augustine, Rousseau, and Sartre. Through the study of these exemplary texts, philosophical reflection on the self emerges as a valid alternative to Freudian psychoanalysis and as a way of promoting self-renewal and change.

Autobiography
Author: Harriet Martineau
Publisher: Broadview Press
ISBN: 1551115557
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 745
Book Description
Harriet Martineau lived an extraordinary literary life. She became a reviewer and journalist in the 1820s when her family’s fortune collapsed; published a best-selling series, Illustrations of Political Economy (1832-34), that made her fame and fortune by the age of thirty; overcame a hearing disability to become a “literary lion” in London society; toured the United States and wrote two founding texts of sociology based on her experiences; explored north Africa and the Middle East to observe non-European societies; wrote “leaders” (editorials) on slavery for the London Daily News during the American Civil War; and commented publicly on matters of politics, history, and religion in an era when women supposedly maintained their place in the sphere of domesticity. This edition of her Autobiography reproduces the original 1877 text, which Martineau composed in 1855 and had printed in anticipation of her death. It includes illustrations of the author and her homes; excerpts from the “Memorials,” added by her editor Maria Chapman; and reviews that praise and critique Martineau’s method as an autobiographer and achievement as a Victorian woman of letters.

Oberlin, Hotbed of Abolitionism
Author: J. Brent Morris
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469618281
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 351
Book Description
By exploring the role of Oberlin--the college and the community--in fighting against slavery and for social equality, J. Brent Morris establishes this "hotbed of abolitionism" as the core of the antislavery movement in the West and as one of the most influential reform groups in antebellum America. As the first college to admit men and women of all races, and with a faculty and community comprised of outspoken abolitionists, Oberlin supported a cadre of activist missionaries devoted to emancipation, even if that was through unconventional methods or via an abandonment of strict ideological consistency. Their philosophy was a color-blind composite of various schools of antislavery thought aimed at supporting the best hope of success. Though historians have embraced Oberlin as a potent symbol of egalitarianism, radicalism, and religious zeal, Morris is the first to portray the complete history behind this iconic antislavery symbol. In this book, Morris shifts the focus of generations of antislavery scholarship from the East and demonstrates that the West's influence was largely responsible for a continuous infusion of radicalism that helped the movement stay true to its most progressive principles.

Book Description
This is Book One of a six book series on Nazarene soteriology (salvation). This book applies the insights gained from studying 2,000 years of Christian salvation to our modern situation. It examines modern salvation experiences as interpreted by Scripture, Christian tradition, rational responses, and emotional encounters with God. The perspective comes from the Nazarene view of two works of grace as Christian Conversion and Holy Purpose. Holy Purpose always follows Christian Conversion. The other five books look at previous historical periods.
