Bible-Burning; The Substance Of A Sermon Preached In St. Martin'S Church, Birmingham, On Sunday Evening, Dec. 10, 1848

By John C. Miller

Book Overview

A fire-lit address from Victorian Birmingham, revived for today's readers. Bible-Burning gathers John C. Miller's stirring sermon, delivered at St. Martin's Church on a December evening in 1848, into a lucid, accessible voice that still speaks with moral purpose. This is more than a historical sermon manuscript; it's a combustible blend of religious exhortation and moral instruction, framed for parishioners, students of theology, and curious readers alike. The address offers a window into Victorian religious rhetoric, the craft of sermon-writing, and the challenges of church authority in a period of social change. Readers will feel the tension between faith and practice, between personal piety and the public role of the church, as Miller speaks to a diverse audience in Birmingham, England, about duty, conscience, and communal life. Historically, the work offers a rare lens into mid-19th century religious discourse, illuminating the era's concerns, rhetoric, and community life. For casual readers, it reads as a vivid historical narrative with timeless themes of courage, integrity, and responsibility. For classic-literature collectors, it is a meticulously preserved artefact-more than a reprint, a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions; restored for today's and future generations, Bible-Burning stands as a potent example of sermon craft and of a moment when faith sought guidance in a changing world.
