The Biblical Recorder is a bi-weekly newspaper published by the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina (BSCNC). ==Early history== The newspaper was founded in 1833 by Thomas Meredith, a prominent Southern Baptist leader in North Carolina. Apart from providing news, Meredith used the paper as a vehicle for clear and principled editorials on issues of the day such as slavery, which he strongly opposed, "Campbellism", which threatened to cause a split in the Baptist movement, temperance, and the troubled relationship with the Triennial Convention. At that time, many Baptist preachers had limited formal education. Religious periodicals such as the Recorder were of great importance to pastors in furthering their theological education and staying connected to other Baptists. Meredith often published multi-issue expositions of key doctrines or defenses of traditional evangelical theological convictions, always providing a rigorously orthodox view.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Thomas Meredith's Biblical Recorder, 1834-1850 )〕 First published in Edenton, the paper was moved to New Bern in 1934 and to Raleigh in 1938, and to Cary in 2011. After the move to Raleigh the paper was merged with the ''Southern Watchman'' of Charleston, South Carolina, and until 1842 was named ''The Recorder and Watchman''. Meredith continued as editor until his death in 1851. The paper then went through various changes of ownership, at some times suspended for lack of funds. C.T. Bailey, who edited the Recorder in the late 1800s, died in 1895 and was succeeded by his son Josiah Bailey, aged 22. Josiah Bailey used the paper to promote the development of public education based on state aid for primary and secondary education, a change from earlier policy which had advocated parochial schools. Bailey also championed the temperance movement. After leaving the paper he had a successful career as a lawyer and a Senator. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Biblical Recorder」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
