The Right and Duty of Christianity to Educate: Inaugural Address (1865) is a book written by John Milton Gregory. In this book, the author argues that Christianity has a responsibility to provide education to individuals. He believes that education is a fundamental right and that it is the duty of the Christian community to ensure that everyone has access to it. The book is an inaugural address, which means that it was given as a speech at the beginning of a new term or position. In this case, John Milton Gregory was delivering his inaugural address as the first president of the Illinois Industrial University (now known as the University of Illinois). Throughout the book, Gregory emphasizes the importance of education and how it can benefit individuals and society as a whole. He argues that education is not just about acquiring knowledge, but also about developing character and morality. He believes that it is the responsibility of the Christian community to provide this type of education to everyone, regardless of their social or economic status. The book is written in a persuasive style, with the author using examples and anecdotes to support his arguments. He also draws on his own experiences as an educator to illustrate the importance of education. Overall, The Right and Duty of Christianity to Educate: Inaugural Address (1865) is a thought-provoking book that explores the role of Christianity in education. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of education or the intersection of religion and education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
