In this sense the Antinomian Controversy was a turning point in the religious ideas of the colonists. But the Controversy was not the point at which New England left the mainstream of the Reformed tradition. The Antinomianism of Anne Hutchinson was the real departure, for it prefigured the radical stance of the Quakers. The New England ministers, on the other hand, remained officially faithful to the Westminster Confession for a hundred years. When the liberal movements of the 18th century reached New England, they had to do battle with Jonathan Edwards. .and in his Treatise Concerning Religious Affections, Edwards quoted more from Thomas Shepard than from any other writer.'

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the origins of the American Revolution, challenging the widely accepted notion that the first bloodshed occurred at Lexington and Concord in April 1775. Through meticulous research, the author demonstrates that the first conflict actually took place in New York City on January 19, 1770, when British soldiers clashed with colonists protesting the presence of a standing army during peacetime. This event, known as the Battle of Golden Hill, ignited a chain of events that would ultimately lead to the outbreak of war. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the underlying causes of the conflict, including the colonists' growing resentment of British rule and the soldiers' arrogance and hostility. It also sheds light on the complexities of the period, as both sides struggled to assert their authority and preserve their interests. This well-researched work offers a fresh perspective on the origins of the American Revolution, challenging conventional narratives and providing valuable insights into the motivations and actions of those involved.
