Appeal From Tradition To Scripture And Common Sense

By George Peck

Book Overview

""Appeal From Tradition To Scripture And Common Sense"" is a book written by George Peck and published in 1844. The book is a call to return to the principles of the Bible and common sense, rather than relying on tradition, in matters of faith and practice. Peck argues that tradition can be a hindrance to true understanding of the Bible, and that the Bible should be the ultimate authority in matters of religion. He also emphasizes the importance of reason and common sense in interpreting the Bible, and warns against blind adherence to dogma or tradition. The book is a significant work in the history of American Methodism, and reflects the debates and controversies of the time over issues such as slavery and the role of women in the church. Overall, ""Appeal From Tradition To Scripture And Common Sense"" is a thought-provoking and influential work that continues to be studied and debated by scholars and theologians today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
