About this Item

Jonathan Dickinson (1688-1747) was one of the foremost leaders in the New England Presbyterian Church and the first president of the College of New Jersey (later renamed Princeton University). Throughout his career he actively championed freedom for dissenters and strove to find middle ground between the extremes of the church. This work was one of his most effective, defending revival while maintaining the need for order, stability, and holiness provided by the church.
