The Christian Pamphlets of Benjamin Franklin

by Bill Fortenberry

You won’t find these quotes in the history books about “Those Doctrines delivered by our Saviour and the Apostles, which are absolutely necessary to be believed, are so very plain, that the meanest Capacities, may easily understand ’em...” “Christ gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all Iniquity, and purify to himself a peculiar People zealous of Good-Works. And there is scarcely a Chapter in the whole Gospels or Epistles from which this Doctrine can’t be prov’d...” “I am conscious I believe in Christ, and exert my best Endeavours to understand his Will aright, and strictly to follow it...” “Christ by his Death and Sufferings has purchas’d for us those easy Terms and Conditions of our Acceptance with God, propos’d in the Gospel, to wit, Faith and Repentance...” In The Christian Pamphlets of Benjamin Franklin, Bill Fortenberry has provided us with three of the most intriguing pamphlets that Franklin ever wrote. In them, Franklin reveals religious views that few historians are even aware of and fewer still are willing to admit.
