Summary |
"A Voice From the Fire: A Sermon Occasioned by the Public Burning of the Bible at Kingstown" by the Rev. Robert Wallace is a religious sermon written in the mid-19th century. This book addresses the serious topic of the public burning of the Bible, an event that provoked deep religious and moral outrage. It reflects on the implications of such acts within the context of faith and the preservation of divine teachings. In this sermon, Wallace details the events surrounding the burning of Bibles conducted by the Redemptorist Fathers, emphasizing the desecration of God's Word and its consequences. He argues against the act not only from a theological standpoint but also highlights the social and moral repercussions of such behavior for the community at large. Throughout the text, he implores both Roman Catholics and Protestants to reflect on the significance of the Scriptures and calls for unity among Christians in defense of their values. Wallace's passionate discourse serves as a rallying cry for adhering to faith amidst ideological disputes, advocating for a return to the foundational tenets of Christianity.
