From the landing of the Pilgrims through the American Revolution,
American religious thought was strongly influenced by the Puritan
theologian William Ames. Quoted more often in the New World than
either Luther or Calvin, Ames was read in Latin by undergraduates
at Harvard and Yale as part of their basic instruction in divinity.
Both Thomas Hooker and Increase Mather recommended the Marrow of
Theology as the only book beyond the Bible needed to make a student
into a sound theologian. Brief, lucid and comprehensive, the Marrow
presents the substance of the Puritan understanding of God, the
church and the world. Ames shows Puritanism to be an eminently
practical religion which stresses individual experience and
feeling. Connections run from Ames in the eighteenth and Friedrich
Schleiermacher in the nineteenth.
