QR code
"A Letter to the Right Hon. Lord Bexley" by Francis Cunningham is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book serves as a detailed report of Cunningham’s observations and experiences regarding the British and Foreign Bible Society's effect on religion in France, the valleys of Piedmont, Switzerland, and Germany following his journey across these regions. The author’s intent is to highlight the crucial role of the Bible Society in
promoting the circulation of the Scriptures and responding to criticisms aimed at the institution. In the letter, Cunningham presents a thorough assessment derived from his extensive travels and visits to various Bible societies across Europe. He discusses the state of Protestantism in France, focusing on encouraging developments within local churches, the influence of Protestant schools, and the involvement of dedicated ministers. In Italy, he emphasizes the plight of the Protestant Vallées de Vaud and their access to Bibles. Furthermore, he addresses the Apocryphal books’ controversy, revealing varying opinions among Bible societies in Germany and the societal challenges they faced. Throughout the letter, Cunningham articulates a call for continued support of the Bible Society’s mission, asserting that despite existing criticisms and obstacles, the society plays a vital role in advancing true religion and fostering unity among Christians across the continent.
