Two Hundred Years: The History of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, 1698 1898 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Two Hundred Years: The History of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, 1698 1898
We have been able in these pages to give only a sample of the records which we possess. Even now we fear that some may complain of the length and dulness of our Account of the Origin, Growth, History, and Work of the old Society. In excuse we can only say that it was difficult to make a selection from these ancient records, and that much interesting matter has been omitted for want of space.
Even in this resumé, however, there will be found, we believe, much that will throw new light upon the history of the Church of England in the eighteenth century.
The early letters from correspondents, both at home and abroad, will furnish a more intimate knowledge of the state of religion at the time than could well be gleaned from any other source. Through these letters we get a glimpse, not only of the deplorable condition of religion in England after the Restoration, but also of the vicissitudes through which the Reformed communities on the Continent were then passing.
