About this title

Synopsis

A Sermon On The Rise, Progress, Corruption, And Declension Of The Christian Religion:. Preached At Manchester, To An Assembly Of Dissenting Ministers,. On May 12, 1752 — Samuel Bourn. This sermon traces the founding and rapid spread of the gospel, then explains how, after centuries of growth, Christianity declined due to internal corruption. It identifies corruptions within doctrine, worship, and church governance, including the intrusion of ceremonialism, the subordination of spiritual authority to civil power, and the manipulation of religious practice for worldly ends. The author argues that such corruptions arose from human pride, ambition, and the alliance of church and state, and he warns that without reform the Christian Kingdom would wane. He urges a return to first principles: a simple, Protestant faith grounded in plain doctrines, reduced to essential truths; reformation at home; and greater unity, charity, and peace among Christians. He envisions the restoration of a spiritual empire that Gospellically propagates the holy message across nations.
