Synopsis
Excerpt from A Course of Lectures on Absolute Abstinence: Containing a Refutation of the Doctrines of the Temperance Society, Advanced in the Temperance Volume; Delivered Before His Congregation in Oakville, U. C
Induced by such a distorted state of society, and such a system of public persecution, uhder the pretext of piomoting morality and religion, my attention was turned to the subject, and the first four of these Lectures were written there, with the intention of completing the course and delivering them publicly. But I was deterred from doing se, partly by the advice of my friends, to whom I had submitted these, Lectures. And partly because the time was at hand which I had fixed for 1emoving to Canada.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a critique of the temperance movement as it existed in the mid-19th century. The author argues that the movement's prohibitionist stance was not supported by scripture and that its methods were often coercive and intolerant. The author examines the historical and cultural context of the temperance movement, showing how it emerged from a broader evangelical revival that sought to reform American society. The author also engages with the theological arguments of the movement, arguing that its prohibitionist stance was a distortion of Christian principles. Ultimately, the author concludes that the temperance movement did more harm than good, dividing churches, alienating potential converts, and creating a climate of fear and suspicion that hindered the spread of the gospel. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
