As in other histories, the history of Christianity has certain key turning-points after which the flow of historical events is profoundly transformed. Some of these moments of transition-well expressed by the Greek term kairos-are immediately pellucid to the student of church history: the Constantinian Revolution, the rise of the heresy of Islam, the Reformation, the Great Awakening. While not as immediately obvious as these turning-points, the sailing for America in 1620 of those whom historians have called the Pilgrims needs to be reckoned as a key event in the story of both the American nation and American Christianity. To be sure, there are some today who dispute its central role in the founding of America, yet generations of historians have accorded it a key place in that story, and it is in line with this older interpretation that this book of essays has been written. The various essays in this anniversary volume remember the manifold details of this historic voyage in an attempt to inform and even inspire the modern Christian as he or she seeks to be a faithful pilgrim to that heavenly country that was ever in the mind of the men and women whom these essays recall.

Typical of eighteenth-century thinkers, both Christian and non-Christian, Fuller believed that there was such a thing as truth, and that it could be known. His essay is thus a primer of what he calls "evangelical truth." Here he lays out, with copious biblical support, what is the truth about the present state of humanity, that is, their fallenness, and the sole remedy for that state, namely, faith in the crucified and risen Christ as Lord.This is updated and freshly formatted edition by H&E Publishing in partnership with the Andrew Fuller Center for Baptist Studies at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
