Excerpt from The Chaplains and Clergy of the Revolution
IN writing the biographies of the chaplains and clergy men who bore a prominent part in our revolutionary struggle, I have thought proper to devote a few pages at the outset to the in?uence of the pulpit as an institution. In New England especially, which inaugurated the rebel lion, and on which fell so heavily the burden of carrying it forward, the pulpit was a recognized power in the State, and its aid formally and earnestly invoked.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a often-overlooked aspect of the American Revolution: the profound influence of religion and the clergy. It challenges the conventional historical narratives that primarily focus on political and military strategies, arguing that the religious fervor of the time played a pivotal role in shaping the course of the revolution, particularly in New England. The author meticulously examines the sermons, addresses, and prayers of clergymen, highlighting their role as passionate advocates for liberty and resistors of oppression. The book sheds light on how these religious leaders instilled in their congregations a deep understanding of natural rights, the principles of just governance, and the sanctity of compacts, effectively preparing the populace for the fight for independence. Beyond individual acts of patriotism, this book explores the systematic influence of the clergy, especially through annual election sermons delivered before government officials. These sermons, often published and widely disseminated, served as powerful platforms for disseminating ideas about liberty and resistance, shaping public opinion and galvanizing support for the revolutionary cause. By illuminating the often-unseen religious dimension of the American Revolution, this book offers a fresh perspective on this pivotal period in history, emphasizing the potent force of faith and morality in shaping the destiny of nations.
