Summary "Around Old Bethany: A Story of the Adventures of Robert and Mary Davis" by R. L. Berry is a historical narrative first published in the early 20th century. The book centers around the lives of Robert and Mary Davis as they navigate their faith journey amidst the diverse and often conflicting religious landscape of late 19th-century Missouri. The story likely explores themes of spiritual search, the challenge of doctrinal confusion, and the establishment of a congregation aligned with New Testament teachings. The opening of the book introduces us to the setting of Bethany, a burgeoning community shaped by various immigrant groups and their respective religious traditions. Robert and Mary, newlyweds with a strong desire for genuine faith, embark on a quest to find the true church amid a myriad of sects. After a series of debates and discussions with established community figures, they begin to confront the inconsistencies of the doctrines they encounter. Their earnest pursuit for truth leads to personal challenges, notably a confrontation with local leader Peter Newby and a fight with Jake Newby, which ultimately drives them to seek a church that represents the purity and unity of early Christianity. The early chapters set the stage for deep spiritual exploration and the emergence of a commitment to the Church of God. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
