Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the state of religious freedom in the fledgling United States of America from the viewpoint of an early Presbyterian minister. The author, once a respected elder of his community, found himself unjustly targeted by religious leaders due to his advocacy for reforms. His account details the systemic issues that plagued the church of the day, including the erosion of individual rights, the oppressive nature of religious establishments, and the presence of corruption and prejudice within the clergy itself. Through personal experience and historical analysis, the author argues that these abuses had their roots in the European tradition of state-sponsored religion and calls for a more tolerant and just approach to religious practice in America. His insights into the dangers of unchecked religious authority remain relevant today, shedding light on the ongoing struggle to balance religious freedom with social harmony. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

144pp. Disbound with scattered foxing. Dedication [page 3] trimmed closely in the right margin, costing several letters. Good+. Birch writes from "Point-Pleasant, near Washington, Pennsylvania, 3d October, 1805." He bitterly resents the "Inquisition" and "persecution" inflicted upon him by the Presbytery of Ohio, which refused to license him. He accuses the Presbytery of "falsehood, injustice, and the breach of those sacred ties of public faith." Courts and church officials, "from the lowest to the highest," have "shut the door against all legal redress," and left Birch alone to expose the injustice in this public appeal. An Irish immigrant ordained at Belfast, Birch is the more deeply distressed, because America is "destined by Providence to reform the world." He presents numerous biblical and mystical prophecies to that effect. Addressing the Jews, not as "incorrigible infidels" but as still "covenanted people," he urges their conversion to the Christian Church. Beginning at page 31, Birch writes his autobiography and his collision with the Ohio Presbytery in numbing detail. "Presbyterianism in Washington County, Pennsylvania at the beginning of the nineteenth century comprehended revivalists and critics of revivalism. The most acidic criticism flowed from the pen of an exiled Irish minister, Thomas Ledlie Birch, who seemingly could not adapt his particular brand of old-country Presbyterianism to American evangelicalism." Birch "repeatedly sought admission to the Ohio Presbytery; clergy and elders as repeatedly rejected Birch as 'unconverted'," The Birch case was a pivotal event in the "revival and schism in American Presbyterianism" [Gilmore, "A Rebel Amidst Revival: Thomas Ledlie Birch and Western Pennsylvania Presbyterianism."
