"Both the sources he employs and the scope of his study set his
work apart from all that have precede it...The first study of New
England preaching to span the entire colonial period...very
important book." - Journal of American History "Simply breathtaking
in scope. No one else has dared to grapple with the full sweep of
Puritan preaching form the founding of New England through the
American Revolution." - Nathan O. Hatch, University of Notre Dame
"A massive achievement will stand as the definitive work on this
important subject." - Reviews in American History "Impressive,
imaginative, sensible, and lucid." - Donald G. Matthews, University
of North Carolina and Chapel Hill "[Stout] has created a field of
scholarship hitherto neglected - the manuscript sermon as a source
of religious culture in colonial times. More than that, he has
shown the extent to which sermon notes add to our knowledge of the
times, notably for the period of the Great Awakening. And he has
done so with great insight." - New England Quarterly "So soundly
based on exhaustive research and so lucid in presentation, that
even its most surprising conclusions carry conviction. An
impressive achievement." - Daniel Walker Howe, author of What Hath
God Wrought: The Transformation of America, 1815-1848 "One of the
most impressive studies of Puritan New England society to appear in
this century....Throughout the work, Stout enriches, supplements
and revises much of the current knowledge about colonial New
England. His language, which is both precise and playful, makes the
volume a delight to read." -The Historian "Will surely become a
benchmark in the study of early American history and culture."
-Journal of the American Academy of Religion
