Bible-Burning: the substance of a sermon preached in St. Martin's Church, Birmingham, on Sunday evening, Dec. 10, 1848

Description

Experience one of the most explosive religious moments in British history with John C. Miller's transcription of the sermon that set Birmingham ablaze. On December 10, 1848, Miller—a radical preacher himself—took the pulpit at St. Martin's Church and delivered a sermon so incendiary it was banned by the Birmingham Special Committee and the sermon text was subsequently prosecuted as blasphemy. The result was the Birmingham Bible Riots, where mobs burned churches and destroyed religious literature across the city.\n\nThis EPUB edition preserves the full, unedited text of the sermon, capturing Miller's fiery rhetoric and the radical theological arguments that destabilized Victorian religious order. It is not just a historical document but a vivid portrait of religious passion and the explosive consequences of public dissent. Essential reading for students of religious history, radical politics, and 19th-century British culture.
