Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a transcript of a sermon given by Rev. ''G' Smith' Carpenter in July 1871 following the infamous New York City Orange riots. Carpenter's message is both prescient and applicable to this day, and encapsulates the book's central theme: that to be a thoughtful and aware citizen, you must understand the times in which you live and the forces at play. Carpenter was not the first to make this observation, but his words are compelling for the way he places this responsibility in the framework of Christianity. Carpenter reminds readers of the âmen of Issacharâ, a tribe from the Old Testament known for their wisdom and understanding of the times. Through this framework, the author explores the spiritual dimension of historical events and seeks to present a holistic picture of humanity's place in the âDivine ways of menâ. For Carpenter, the evolution of human society is part of a grand plan by God leading towards the ultimate goal of universal equality and freedom. This book is a thoughtful exploration of the relationship between freedom, order, faith, and social responsibility.
