Synopsis
Volume five of the Mercer Commentary on the Bible comprises commentaries on the deuterocanonical/apocryphal books which Martin Luther called "useful and good for reading" yet did not consider of the same authority as Scripture. Volume five of the Mercer Commentary on the Bible includes commentaries from the critically acclaimed Mercer Commentary on the Bible and appropriate articles from the equally well-received Mercer Dictionary of the Bible. This convenient yet thorough edition is for the classroom and for anyone who wishes to focus study on these particular texts.
The story of one of Georgia's oldest institutions. George Whitefield changed the religious character of colonial America more than any of his contemporaries. Few Americans today realize that the religious history of the U.S. would be different if it had not been for "beloved Bethesda."

Hardcover. Condition: Good. George Whitefield, ?the Grand Itinerant? changed the religious character of colonial America more than any of his contemporaries. Few Americans today realize that the religious history of the United States would be different if it had not been for the institution Whitefield loved and called his ?beloved Bethesda.? Bethesda is a home and school for Georgia?s orphans. Few Georgians are aware of the ways Bethesda affected the economic and social history of the state. For example, Bethesda sustained the state during the dark years of 1740 to 1742 when Spanish invaders threatened the infant colony. Because of Bethesda?s precarious financial situation, Whitefield became a major force in bringing plantation slavery to Georgia. Whitefield?s ?Beloved Bethesda? has seen its graduates take their places in leadership positions throughout the state, and Savannah?s residents have sustained the institution. In that respect, the story of Bethesda is also a history of Savannah. Seller Inventory # AMPLE086554722X
