Produktbeschreibung

In this compilation of previously unpublished and largely unexamined sermons, Bond shapes a picture of colonial Virginia's religious environment that is unparalleled in both its depth and scope. His commentary vastly enriches our appreciation not only of the texts, but also of their writers and the important role these clergymen played in shaping the young nation.
