This study of religious thought and social life in early America
focuses on the career of Joseph Bellamy (1719-1790), a Connecticut
Calvinist minister noted chiefly for his role in originating the
New Divinity-the influential theological movement that evolved from
the writings of Bellamy's teacher, Jonathan Edwards. Tracing
Bellamy's contributions as a preacher, noted controversialist, and
church leader from the Great Awakening to the American Revolution,
Mark Valeri explores why the New Divinity was so immensely popular.
Set in social contexts such as the emergent market economy, the war
against France, and the politics of rebellion, Valeri shows,
Bellamy's story reveals much about the relationship between
religion and public issues in colonial New England.
