Excerpt from Seed-Truths, or Bible Views of Mind, Morals, and Religion Why such a record of the first man, and his trifling aberration? Why doom his posterity for a sin in which they had no participation? Why such a life as that of Abraham, and such a law as that of Moses? Why such a murderous raid on the Canaanites? Why such lists of unmeaning names? On account of such questionings, the Catholics deem the Bible an unsafe book in the hands of the people, unless a priest is present to indoctrinate them in the dogmas of the church.

Pharcellus Church was born on September 11, 1801 in Seneca, New York, United States, the son of Willard and Sarah (Davis) Church.
Church's early education was meager. His mother encouraged him at the age of twelve to read the Bible through, and his contact with the Gospel of John brought a religious interest. In 1824 he graduated from the Hamilton Literary and Theological Institution (now Colgate University), where he was especially influenced by Dr. Nathaniel Kendrick. In 1847 he received his Doctor of Divinity degree from Madison University.
Church started to serve as a pastor at Poultney, Vermont (1825 - 1828), Providence, Rhode Island (1828 -1834), and (temporarily) New Orleans, where he wrote his first book, The Philosophy of Benevolence (1836). He then was called to the First Baptist Church of Rochester, New York, where his most important ministerial work was accomplished (1835 - 1848). Here also he wrote his work, Antioch: or, Increase of Moral Power in the Church of Christ (1843), which anticipated somewhat the argument of Henry Drummond as to the unity of natural and spiritual law, while his attempt to establish a via media between Au- gustinianism and Pelagianism was prophetic of the later working compromise between Calvinistic and Free Baptists. Although he left Rochester before the University there was established, he was an influential leader in the preliminary efforts; his participation in the attempt to bring the college and seminary from Hamilton is traced somewhat in detail in Jesse L. Rosenberger’s Rochester and Colgate; Historical Background of the Two Universities (1925).
Although Church had two more pastorates— Bowdoin Square, Boston (1848 - 1852), and the Second Baptist, Brooklyn (1853 - 1855), during both he was engaged in journalistic activities, first with the Watchman and Reflector (Boston), and then with the New York Chronicle, purchased in 1854 by Church and Dr. Jay S. Backus. The latter magazine, devoted especially to the Bible translation cause, Church edited until its merger into the Examiner (1865).
