THE CALVINISTIC MAGAZINE....VOLUME V
1831 · Rogersville, T
by [Tennessee]: [Calvinism]
Rogersville, T, 1831. 196,[229]-400,[3]pp. plus wrappers for the Nov./Dec. issue bound at rear. Contemporary half cloth and plain paper- covered boards. Cloth and boards chipped, spine ends scuffed, extremities worn, mid- 19th-century ownership signature on front board. Occasional tanning, some foxing. Last two leaves of issue six chipped at top corner costing some text, and lacking issue seven. Good. Most of the final year of the initial run of the magazine of the Calvinist Church, whose basic belief was that God is absolutely sovereign, and whose influence extended to the Congregational, Presbyterian, and Reformed churches. THE CALVINISTIC MAGAZINE was published in both monthly form and in an annual collected edition, with an added titlepage. The myriad of subjects covered here include essays, sermons, missionary reports, revivals, and more relating to church matters, activities, and doctrine. Just a sampling yields chapters such as "Orthodoxy and Infidelity," "Rum Selling Deacons," and "Most Horrible Cannibalism in New Zealand." Of particular interest to Tennessee are two articles in the October issue on the Synod of Tennessee. Not in Allen. AII (TENNESSEE) 210 (Inventory #: WRCAM53633)
