Art / Print / Poster
Engraving on two sheets joined, 33.625" x 24.875" at neat line plus margins, uncolored. CONDITION: Minor soiling, a few mended edge tears, including one extending 8" from the upper edge and another 3.5" from the lower edge, both expertly mended and all-but invisible. Still, untrimmed and in generally spectacular condition. A remarkableand mammothbroadside chronological chart employing text and images to depict six millennia of ecclesiastical and secular history. The Epitome was designed by the Rev. David Sherman Rowland (17191794), who began his career as a minister in Providence, Rhode Island but was "forced to flee his pulpit there because of his inflammatory exhortations on freedom and taxation" (First Church Windsor). He spent the rest of his career a minister of the First (Congregational) Church in Windsor, Connecticut. He was succeeded in 1790 by his son the Rev. Henry Augustus Rowland (1764-1835), who, along with his elder brother William Frederic Rowland (17611843), pastor of the First (Congregational) Church in Exeter, New Hampshire, arranged for the chart's posthumous publication. The earliest announcement appeared in the New-Hampshire Gazette for June 17, 1800 and described the chart as follows: This Epitome contains a compendious representation of the Churchthe garden of Edenthe Adamical Dispensation in a dark shadowalso the different Dispensations till the Messiah camethe state of the Church, with the dark shades of error which obscured its lustrethe running off of the man of sinthe several channels in which the more important truths were conveyedthe various sectariesevents before and since the Christian EraProphetic periodsthe most noted councilswitnesses for the truth in every ageand a summary description of the leading sectaries" (p. 4) An advert appeared soon after in the Courier of New Hampshire for July 5, 1800 (p. 4), offering subscriptions for $2 per impression, with "the work to be put in execution as soon as 500 copies are subscribed for." It must have taken time to drum up the requisite number of orders, as the Epitome was not published until 1806. The finished product appears very much as advertised. The body is divided into eight columns, of which the central six constitute a timeline of "The Christian Church divided into Seven Periods," the first beginning in 9 A.D. and the last concluding at some indefinite future date with "The Heavenly State." These six columns list emperors and kings, major sects, key secular events (with the years 16001800 emphasizing early American history), Church Councils, and major religious figures. The left-most column provides a chronology of pre-Christian history, while that on the right gives brief descriptions of the "leading sectaries." The central image depicts the Church as a large river flowing from Solomon's Temple, with numerous branches splitting off, particularly during the Reformation, and the anticipation that they will reunite in the main stream of the Church in the future. As mentioned earlier, Rowland was an ardent patriot, and the broadside holds an implicit message about the linked courses of Church and American history: The final three secular events listed are the Declaration of Independence, the Federal Constitution and the French Revolution, suggesting that the new republics would prefigure a period of ecclesiastical unity and peace. Stylistically, An Epitome of Ecclesiastical History is an interesting hybrid. On the one hand, most of its chronological information is conveyed in the ancient "Eusebian" format, named after the 4th-century Romano-Christian chronicler. This format entailed a simple table with kingdoms or other thematic topics listed across the top and dates listed down the right- or left-most column. It was simple to execute and enabled the viewer to compare concurrent events across the known world; but it tended to be crowded, grueling to read, and not terribly memorable except for the most gifted. By contrast, the central stream image may have been inspired by Friedrich Strass's 1803 Strom der Zeiten,which employed a visual metaphor of interweaving streams and rivers to treat the rise and fall of kingdoms and empires. Thus, Rowland's work can be seen as a sort of compromise or transitional approach, reflecting a tentative attempt to move beyond the limits of the traditional Eusebian model without abandoning it altogether. Amos Doolittle The Epitome was engraved and published by the remarkable Amos Doolittle of New Haven. Doolittle (17541832) worked in New Haven and was probably America's most prolific early engraver. His career spanned seven decades and yielded hundreds of portraits, views, book illustrations and maps, but he is best known for his historical prints, most famously his suite of engravings of the battles at Lexington and Concord. Art historians are often unjustly dismissive of his output; Stauffer for example stuffily pronounces that "his work, at the best, possesses little other than historical interest." (Stauffer I:67) This is terribly unfair: while some of his early worknotably the Lexington and Concord engravingswas indeed crude, much of his later work is quite accomplished, as evidenced by the detail and clarity of this plan of New Haven. Even when the charge is merited however, the "historical interest" is extreme. Doolittle's political and historical prints documented some of the most important events of his time, and he engraved some of the most significant maps issued in the early years of the republic. An early and scarce American chronological chart, produced by one of America's great early engravers and offered here in stellar condition.

The Faraday Institute is a welcoming community of keen-minded scholars and good-hearted friends. The place is a beehive of activity. They have programs for undergraduate and graduate students, churches, and schools. Their team lectures everywhere from Japan to the United Arab Emirates. They greeted Ben into their midst, hooked him into all fun Cambridge spots, and challenged him with the most provocative ideas.Several of the Faraday scholars mentioned a deeply influential book, Real Scientists, Real Faith, first published in 1991, which is a collection of essays by Christian Oxbridge scientists who reconcile their faith and their science. They are astronomers, biochemists, and physicists of the highest rank. At a time when the "New Atheists" are so popular, and the "Nones" are on the rise, this thoughtful collection gives a refreshing perspective: it is possible to be both a scientist and a Christian.This collection is borne from that tradition; and yet, perhaps physicians engage in faith a bit differently than the scientist. A scientist beholds the glory of God in the cosmos, in the chemical reaction, and in the microscope. A physician beholds the glory of God in the patient. God's presence is often experienced in the weeping, the suffering, the grind of the work, and even, hopefully, the healing. We rejoice when the patient improves; but we also struggle with our burnout and our failures. Sure, we too are scientists. But we are also human. Because medicine is intensely human, we, as Christian physicians, lean into our faith. What else are we to do? As Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God." (John 6:68-69)Ben, Andre, David, and Mike invited a variety of Christian physicians from different pathways to write a thoughtful, personal essay about how their faith and medical practice intertwined. Perhaps they were influenced by a patient? A tragic moment in their lives? A grace-imbued rescue? A conflict difficult to resolve? They are a diverse group - surgeons, primary care docs, missionaries, academics, researchers, and even a flight surgeon! And so, the book has a diversity of stories. Some are intensely personal. Stories come from the highest echelon of the academy. The authors tell lots of stories of the patients who inspire us, challenge us, and deepen our faith (please note, any patient name has been changed and details have been altered to preserve confidentiality).Throughout, we share how God has moved in their lives. How else can we contend with the suffering of our patients? Our own challenges with grief and trauma? The co-editors are so grateful for the authentic struggles, the deep faith, and the abiding love of these contributors-and also for receiving their manuscripts in the requested six weeks, a miracle in itself! We are not perfect - far from it. We struggle with our faith. We doubt. We weep. But each of these stories articulates the mystery of God's power to work in our lives. Ben and David hope these stories give witness not to us, but to God's grace. We hope these stories would encourage those on their own journey, those who ponder how being a Christian and a physician are not contrary to each other but synergistically lead to the flourishing of both.
