About this eBook

Author Beecher, Catharine Esther, 1800-1878
Title An Appeal to the People in Behalf of Their Rights as Authorized Interpreters of the Bible
Summary "An Appeal to the People in Behalf of Their Rights as Authorized Interpreters of The Bible" by Catharine E. Beecher is a theological treatise written in the mid-19th century. The work engages in a critical examination of the Augustinian Theory of Original Sin and its implications on the moral sense of humanity. Beecher argues for the rights of individuals to interpret the Bible independently, asserting that common sense and personal inquiry can lead to a clearer understanding of religious truths. The opening of this volume presents a call to action for the people in the face of an impending religious crisis. It highlights the beliefs that have historically obscured the question of salvation, focusing on how the Augustinian Theory has been integrated into church doctrines and has led many astray from a moral understanding of God and humanity. Beecher emphasizes the need for a collective awakening among the populace to reject these outdated doctrines and engage with the Bible on their own terms, using principles of common sense to discern truth.
