Hale (William Hale) The Autobiography of Mark Rutherford, Edited by his friend Reuben Shapcott Transcribed from the 1913 Hodder and Stoughton edition by David Price "The Autobiography of Mark Rutherford, Edited by his friend Reuben Shapcott" is an autobiographical work written in the late 19th century. The book narrates the life of Mark Rutherford, a man who grapples with his own shortcomings, the complexities of faith, and the ordinary challenges of existence. The story unfolds within the context of a commonplace life marked by personal struggles, intellectual quests, and a deep sense of introspection. At the start of the autobiography, Rutherford reflects on his childhood experiences and the environment he grew up in, characterized by strict Calvinistic beliefs imposed by his parents. He shares vivid memories of both the joys and turmoil of his upbringing, highlighting the contrast between his carefree childhood and the rigid, often confining religious practices of his family life on Sundays. As he transitions into his teenage years and beyond, Rutherford begins to question the dogmas he was raised with, leading him to a deeper exploration of his own beliefs. His grappling with notions of conversion, the authenticity of faith, and the expectations placed upon him foreshadows the internal conflicts that will shape his journey ahead.
