Voices of Faith at Work in the World

About this Collection

The historical religion programs in this collection came from the archives, library shelves, and back rooms of many organizations. Faith groups represented include African Methodist Episcopal, Baptist, Episcopal, Lutheran, Mennonite, Methodist, Presbyterian, Quaker, Roman Catholic, Salvation Army, United Church of Christ, United Methodist, and others.

This SoundTheology online archive is an independent service of Audio-Rescue.com, provided in conjunction with the United Methodist General Commission on Archives and History (GCAH). Many of these programs would have been lost forever if not saved in this project. The originating institutions have made the recordings available for public access to further private study, scholarship, and research. They retain the rights to the recordings.

This audio collection has been chosen for inclusion in the Library of Congress Radio Preservation Task Force Sound Collection Database.

Description: Chapter 1: "The Knowable God" (How many ways does the author mention that a person can know God? In how many ways do you know Him?) Bishop Kenneth W. Copeland (1911-1972) reads his 1959 book, "A Primer of Beliefs for Methodist Laymen: Concerning Christian Experience and Life." The recording of this book was an experiment by the Television, Radio, and Film Commission of the Alabama-West Florida Annual Conference in the early 1960's.
