A Discourse: Preached Dec. 22, 1850, in the Church of the Puritans, on Occasion of the Anniversary of the Landing of Our Pilgrim Fathers (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
A moving study of faith, liberty, and duty rooted in America’s Puritan and Pilgrim heritage.
This nonfiction sermon explores how piety, conscience, and governance shaped early American liberty and its ongoing meaning for today’s readers.
Drawing on the history of the Pilgrim and Puritan Fathers, the talk traces how deep religious conviction informed laws, education, and civil life. It links a covenantal church beginning to the birth of a nation built on religious liberty and responsible leadership.
Readers will encounter clear arguments about the balance between God's Word and human law, the role of education in sustaining a republic, and the enduring call to act with moral courage in public life.
- Foundations: piety, principles, and the roots of American liberty
- Church covenants and their influence on civil government
- The link between faith, education, and national character
- Practical reflections on how history informs present-day civic duty
Ideal for readers interested in 19th‑century religious history, constitutional ideas, and the interplay of faith and public life.
