A question of national importance. The Constitution provides protection against the encroachment of religious power upon the civil government as a safeguard to liberty. This protection remains intact only as long as the basic truth is recognized that no man can allow any legislation favoring his own religious beliefs. Violating this principle will result in the loss of his own religious freedom. The subjects in this book should never become secondary in the mind of any American citizen: The principles of the American Constitution. The proper relationship between religion and the State. The distinction between moral and civil law. The inalienable civil and religious rights of men. This book is a report of an argument made concerning the national Sunday bill that was introduced by Senator Blair in the fiftieth Congress.
Annotation. Alonzo T. Jones presents Righteousness by Faith to the leading brethren of the Seventh-day Adventist church during the 1893 General Conference Session.
In the July 25, 1899, issue of the Adventist Review and Sabbath Herald, the co-editor Alonzo T. Jones wrote: "Several letters have been received asking what law is the subject of consideration in the book of Galatians."His answer was: "Not any law at all; it is the gospel that is the subject, and the whole subject, under consideration in the book of Galatians."Thus he began an in-depth series of studies that lasted sixteen months. The results are faithfully reproduced here for use in your study and personal growth.
The prize-winning essays "The Abiding Sabbath," written by the Rev. George Elliot in 1884, and "The Lord's Day; Its Universal and Perpetual Obligation," written by Professor A. E. Waffle in 1885, are strongly refuted in this book by Adventist pioneer Alonzo T. Jones.
Christian education has all but disappeared from the majority of educational systems around the world. As governments limit or banish God from among our schools in the name of "separation of church and state," we find the very foundation upon which many schools began disintegrating before our eyes. This is not a new problem. Over the centuries people have had the same concern of what is true education and the place of religion in the educational system. Among these were the newly devoted Christians arising from the Great Advent movement sweeping North America during the 18th and 19th century. Author Alonzo T. Jones, an important figure in Great Advent movement, felt that Christians should take a solid look at the educational systems of that day. Jones believed that true Christian education was the only becoming choice to Christians. In The Place of the Bible in Education, he outlines according to the Bible what exactly Christian education looks like. He also explores the true meaning of the separation between church and state and how Christian education does not fall under such discrimination. In this book, he discusses how secular education falls short of even the true meaning of education and how this has an adverse affect on our young people. Jones shows how there is a Biblical precedent for true education and how the Bible should and can become part of the educational system.
On Tuesday, May 7, 1889 at eight o'clock in the evening, Ellen G. White arrived at the Ottawa Kansas Camp Meeting, where combined meetings for organization, delegations and conference work was being done. This Camp Meeting took place approximately six months after the historic 1888 General Conference at Minneapolis and the passionate sermons given by Alonzo T. Jones, Mrs. White, and others have given clearer insights to the 1888 message.
