This book was released on 2016-02-29 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the night of April 18, 1775, Paul Revere arrived at the parsonage of Reverend Jonas Clarke to deliver a warning to its occupants, including Samuel Adams and John Hancock. The following morning brought the first shots of the American Revolution to a community Clarke inspired to face such a harsh reality. He called on his parish to oppose imperial legislation for years leading up to the war. And as Lexington's minister for half a century, he was central to political, civic and social life there until his death in 1805. Historian Richard P. Kollen reveals the often overlooked story of the man who helped shape the spirit of the American Revolution.

Download or read book The Genevan Reformation and the American Founding written by David W. Hall and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2003-07-15 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this provocative study, David W. Hall argues that Calvinism had a greater influence on America's founders than contemporary scholars, and perhaps even the founders themselves, have understood. Calvinism's insistence that human rulers tend to err played a significant role in the founders' prescription of limited government and fed the distinctly American philosophy in which political freedom for citizens is held as the highest value. Hall's timely work countervails many scholars' doubt in the intellectual efficacy of religion by showing that religious teachings have led to such progressive ideals as American democracy and freedom.

The patriot preachers of the American revolution Frank Moore Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1862, by M. A. MOORE, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York. PREFACE. It is the purpose of the editor of this volume to present a collection of the most characteristic Sermons, that were preached by the most celebrated divines, who occupied the American pulpits during the period extending from the Repeal of the Stamp Act, in 1766, through the Revolution, to the establishment of peace in 1783. The propriety of the publication of such a collection at the present time must be apparent to readers of all classes.* The universal assertion that "the preachers of the Revolution did not hesitate to attack the great political and social evils of their day," demands a support, which nothing but the reproduction of their strong, practical appeals, can afford. As such, this collection is offered. The brief biographical notices prefixed to each sermon are intended simply to indicate the position and PREACHERS OF THE REVOLUTION. JONATHAN MAYHEW, D. D. Doctor Mayhew was a descendant from one of the most ancient and honorable families in New England. The first of the name who came to America, was Thomas Mayhew, governor of Martha's Vineyard, who resided at Watertown, Massachusetts, in 1636, and died 1681. The subject of this sketch was the greatgrandson of Governor Thomas, and was born in 1720. In 1744, he graduated at Harvard College, and three years after was ordained pastor of the West Church, in Boston. In this charge he continued until his death, "loving his people, and by them beloved;" explaining with manly fortitude, the truths contained in the
