Summary: "Substance of a Sermon on the Bible Society" by Francis Cunningham is a religious discourse likely written in the early 19th century. This sermon reflects on the importance of the British and Foreign Bible Society, emphasizing the need for the widespread distribution of the Bible and promoting unity among different Christian denominations. The text exemplifies the societal role of religious organizations during this time period, which plays a significant part in the movement towards greater accessibility of religious texts. In this sermon, Cunningham passionately advocates for the Bible Society as a means to fulfill Christ’s command to “preach the Gospel to every creature.” He argues for the necessity of circulating the Scriptures without annotations or commentaries, asserting that this pure dissemination is vital for spiritual welfare. Throughout, he highlights the significance of cooperation among various Christian sects to achieve the goal of global Bible distribution. Cunningham cites examples of the Bible's scarcity in certain regions, the transformative impact of the Society's efforts, and he appeals to the congregation for generous support to overcome the spiritual needs of millions who lack access to the Scriptures. Ultimately, the sermon underscores the shared responsibility of Christians to spread the Gospel, regardless of denominational differences. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
