Transcribed from the 1817 J. Keymer edition by David Price "Reasons why a Churchman may with Great Justice Refuse to Subscribe to the British and Foreign Bible Society" is a theological pamphlet authored in the early 19th century, likely during the Regency era. This work presents a critical examination of the British and Foreign Bible Society from the perspective of a churchman who articulates reasons for rejecting its subscription. The author argues for maintaining the integrity and stability of the Established Church, asserting that the Society undermines its teachings by promoting a broad, ecumenical distribution of the Bible without the necessary safeguards that align with church doctrine. In this pamphlet, the author discusses various arguments against the British and Foreign Bible Society, emphasizing that churchmen face potential doctrinal confusion by uniting with dissenters in the distribution of scripture. He advocates for the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, which he claims is more aligned with church values as it sidesteps the dangers posed by diverse interpretations of the Bible prevalent within dissenting circles. The author highlights the advantages of obtaining Bibles at cheaper rates, enhanced utility through commentary, and the provision of Prayer Books, ultimately urging church members to prioritize their religious obligations while distributing the Bible in a manner that preserves the integrity of the Church of England.
