Voices of the People: Democracy and Chartist Political Identity, 1830–1870 (Chartist Studies series)

Considering how political identity intertwines with craft, ethnicity, gender, and class, this study explores the development and decline of Chartism between 1830 and 1860 through the perspective of plebeian intellectuals and activists in Ashton-under-Lyne and other militant localities of Greater Manchester and Lancashire. Challenging the approach of Patrick Joyce, Gareth Stedman-Jones, and James Vernon, this account questions myths and memories and provides a cultural and sociological view of the period.

"We don't need all this doctrine and theology. Let's just go by the Bible." Have you heard that, or have you even said it yourself? Yes, of course we need the Bible. It's the infallible, inerrant, inspired Word of God-our ultimate authority. But disconnecting from the historic creeds and confessions of the church, saying, "Out with the old, in with the new," merely brings us a fragmented Christian faith. The Apostles' Creed is a concise, compact statement of basic Christian beliefs affirmed by Christians past and present in every major branch of the historic Christian church. Written in plain and accessible language, Bob Hall's book shows how this ancient confession of faith connects with ordinary Christians today and allows us to build our lives on an unshakable foundation. I Believe is not only as a benchmark for our own beliefs but also a sound starting point for when we engage with others about the Christian faith.

Great Writing

Ancient Jewish and Christian writers frequently sought to persuade by claiming to understand the past through revelation. Hall shows how the long recitals of past events often found in apocalypses are not to be seen as mere preludes to predictions, but prove integral to the author's argument. This original study concludes that many ancient Jews and Christians found claims to inspiration an acceptable basis for re-telling past events and that early Christian prophets consciously shaped not only the sayings of Jesus but the narrative structure in which the sayings occur.
