Book Description
Edward L. Bond offers a reappraisal of religion's place in the colonies, fully chronicling as well as contextualizing the practice of religion and church activities in early America. The addition of previously unpublished and largely unexamined sermons shapes a picture of colonial Virginia's religious environment that is unparalleled in both depth and scope The book vastly enriches our appreciation not only of the texts, but also of their writers and the important role these clergymen played in shaping the young nation.
