Seller's Description:
Very Good. Size: 5.25 x 8 x 1; Type: Book 1988/1st Trade Paperback Edition/1st Printing/398 Pages. This book is the first comprehensive analysis of preaching in New England from the founding of the Puritan colonies to the outbreak of the Revolution. With a multi-disciplinary approach, (rhetorical style and concept of identity & community) it examines more than two thousand sermons spanning five generations of ministers. & finds a consistency in their messages that link the ministers of the 1630's with those of the 1770's. A tough read, but gets inside the Puritan mind. There are notes (inner front cove) & a moderate amount of underlining & marginalia throughout.
