Publication Date and Availability
After numerous long delays, I have learned printed and bound copies of the book Hearken will officially arrive at the publishers March 15-16. I guess in honor of my Irish forebears that makes for an "on the shelf" date of March 17. I understand the publisher is working on distribution locations but know it is available at the moment for advance purchase at Amazon. I'll post other locations as soon as I learn of them.

Amazon informed me that my copy shipped yesterday. I'm looking forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteI have finally received my copy from
ReplyDeleteAmazon and am happily reading through
the chapters.
I did discover one oddity referenced on
p. 112, where Daniel Stanton was cited as
a Teacher who was baptizing in Ohio. Since
he was a Priest at least as early as
June 3, 1831 (FWR) -- I'm left to wonder
if his teacher-baptisms were carried out
as a Mormonite or as a Reformed Baptist?
I assume he was ordained by both groups.
Alexander Campbell created the office
of "Teacher" as a mid-way position
between Deacon and Bishop, in the Mahoning
Baptist Assoc. As a Campbellite Teacher,
Stanton would have had the authority to
baptize -- but I am unsure he was such a
Teacher. Probably that office was confined
to Darwin Atwater & Zeb Rudolph. At least
I know of no other such "Teachers."
Moving on to p. 135, I'm puzzled to
understand where endnotes 96-98 are
referenced, (when it comes to citing the
1820 "Williams Journal."
Perhaps I'm mis-reading. I'll continue on
with my inspection of this massive book.

More than a half-page of text was left out of the material covered on page 135. I don't know why that material was dropped out but I've made it available on the Blog page At Sundry Times. I also provide additional details about Daniel Stanton on that site as well.
