Two Discourses on Thanksgiving and Providence
Explore the 1760 public sermons that mark a day of thanks for military success and the reduction of Canada. These pages pair faith, history, and reflection on how divine providence touches worldly events, offering a window into colonial religious life and its view of victory and duty.
Through careful meditation on scripture and current events, the book considers God’s hand in military outcomes, the responsibilities of gratitude, and the broader aim of promoting Christ’s kingdom in the world. It invites readers to consider how praise and humility can accompany triumphs on and off the battlefield.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the successes and consequences of national wars from two perspectives. The first is a high-level philosophical reflection on divine providence in the outcomes of war, reflecting on the extent to which God has a role in the victories of nations. The second perspective is an exploration of the historical consequences of war, especially on the spread of Christianity throughout history. The author argues that war often plays a preparatory and introductory role for the spread of the Christian gospel. While this is not the intention of those nations going to war, there is a grander design and purpose in place that is larger than their small sphere of influence. Filled with thought-provoking ideas and historical examples, this book is a must-read for scholars of religious history, political science, and anyone interested in the intersection of faith and war.
