About the Book
In historical fiction the plot is set in the past, and pays attention to the manners, social conditions and other details of the period portrayed. Some authors choose to include famous historical figures in their fictional plots, so that audiences can imagine how those individuals might have responded to the plots and environments established by the author. The Western literary component of this genre is founded in the early 19th century works of such authors as Sir Walter Scott, Honoré de Balzac, James Fenimore Cooper, and Leo Tolstoy.

Excerpt from Talks to Bereans
When we look at the universe of matter, as far as it is open to our inspection, we are struck with one contrast which it presents to the universe of mind or spirit: in the former, order and harmony is the rule, disorder and discord the exception in the latter, disorder, discord, and wretchedness are largely in the ascendant. Even much that seems, at first sight, to be disorder in the material system, proves, on fuller investigation, to be subservient to harmonious ends; but in regard to the moral na ture, we are painfully conscious in our own experi ence, and impressed by all our observations, that there is an almost utter want of peace and har mony, and a fearful prevalence of unrest and wretchedness.

Isaac Errett was an American clergyman, minister of the Disciples of Christ and for many years editor of one of their leading periodicals.
Background
Isaac Errett was the son of Henry Errett, a native of Arklow, County Wicklow, Ireland.
When he was about five years old his father died, and his mother soon married Robert Souter, a parsimonious Scotchman, not inclined to do much for his step-children.
His father had been active in the Discipies’ movement, and Isaac, having been converted and displaying an aptitude for public speaking, was more and more drawn into preaching.
Education
Isaac’s early education was obtained chiefly in a bookstore where he was employed, and in the printing office of A. A. Anderson, Pittsburgh, where he worked as apprentice and journeyman.
Career
In 1832 the family moved westward and settled near Pittsburgh. Here for a time he edited a weekly paper, The Intelligencer. His father had been active in the Discipies’ movement, and Isaac, having been converted and displaying an aptitude for public speaking, was more and more drawn into preaching. On June 18, 1840, he was formally set apart as an evangelist, and in October took charge of a newly formed church in Pittsburgh. Leaving Pittsburgh in 1844, he was subsequently pastor in three Ohio towns, New Lisbon (1844 - 49), North Bloomfield (1S49-S1). and Warren (1851 - 56). In the latter year he joined a company formed to establish a colony in Michigan, engage in the lumber business, and promote religion in that portion of the frontier. The company founded the town of Muir. Errett ministered here and carried on evangelistic work in the country round about. In 1862 he took charge of a new church enterprise on Jefferson Avenue, Detroit, but after two years returned to Muir. From 1857 to 1860 he was corresponding secretary of the American Christian Missionary Society, his duties necessitating numerous trips through the West and South. In December 1860, as agent for Bethany College, he made a tour with Alexander Campbell, and in 1861 he became co-editor of the Millennial Harbinger. From 1866 to 1867 he served as principal of the department of Biblical literature in the Western Reserve Eclectic Institute (Hiram College) and professor of evangelical and pastoral training. By this time the qualities he had displayed as preacher, organizer, and writer had given him a position of leadership among the Disciples. Accordingly, when early in 1866 the Christian Publishing Association was formed to issue a weekly paper which should honestly and kindly set forth the views of the Disciples, with James A. Garfield heading the Board of Directors, Errett was chosen to be its editor. This paper, The Christian Standard, was first published in Cleveland; for a short time in Alliance, Ohio, where Errett was president of Alliance College (1868-69) ; and thereafter in Cincinnati. In 1874 he aided in the organization of the Christian Woman’s Board of Missions; in the following year he was one of the founders of the Foreign Christian Missionary Society, and was its president as long as he lived. He delivered the principal address at the funeral service for President Garfield at Cleveland in September 1881. During 1884-85 he was one of the editors of The Disciple of Christ, a monthly “devoted to Christian living, learning and literature. ”
On June 18, 1840, he was formally set apart as an evangelist, and in October took charge of a newly formed church in Pittsburgh.
Politics
He was an active supporter of the Union during the Civil War, visiting camps, making speeches, and even applying for a colonel’s commission that he might raise a regiment.
