About this title

Synopsis

An Appeal To Scripture; The Church; And Facts: In Reply To 'Remonstrance, Addressed To The Supporters Of The British And Foreign Bible Society, On The System Of Visitation, As Introduced By Their District Committees' by Benjamin Saunders Claxson. An 1823 polemical tract defending the British and Foreign Bible Society and its district visitation program. Claxson contends that widespread diffusion of Scripture, even without formal exposition, strengthens religious knowledge and moral character, and argues that Bible associations advance education, charity, and societal order. He cites scripture, church authorities, and missionary reports to counter accusations of dissent and disruption, and defends female participation in Bible distribution and visitation as compatible with Anglican doctrine. The work emphasizes unity among Christians, the value of public scripture literacy, and the ongoing mission to propagate the Bible worldwide, viewing such efforts as a providential instrument for spiritual reform and national improvement.
