		Breaking from the Scottish Kirk, Glas believed that the absolute authority of the Scriptures was obvious only to the elect, who inevitably exhibit evidence of God's grace through the performance of good works.2 A profession of faith was insufficient evidence of election for Glas.
		The Glasite church was thus a highly Christocentric body repudiating the establishment of synods and presbyteries.4 This affront to ecclesiastical hierarchy did not sit well with the Synod of Angus and Meams, which censured its wayward brother.
		The Glasites slowly increased their numbers, and Glas found a righthand-man in his son-in-law and elder of the Glasite congregation at Perth, Robert Sandeman (1718-71).6 Encouraged by letters from American supporters, Sandeman convinced Glas that an America still trembling from the Great Awakening would prove an ideal place to spread the new word.

		Several writers have been emphasizing the importance of Faraday's religion in understanding Faraday's activities, but almost no one has pursued this idea in any depth, and that's why Cantor wrote this book, he says.
		Thus Cantor examines the writings of the founders of the small sect called "Sandemanians" (or "Glasites") to which Faraday belonged, and he tries to identify the doctrinal features which may help our understanding of Faraday's ideas and activities.
		More specifically, after a brief Introduction, Cantor devotes next three chapters (2, 3, and 4) for clarifying the origin of the Sandemanian sect, the London Sandemanian group to which Faraday belonged, and Faraday's activities among the Sandamanians.
