Approx. size - 8 by 5.25"

Errand into the Wilderness , is taken from the title of a Massachusetts election sermon of 1670. This sermon appeared to be addressed to the sinful and unregenerate whom God was about to destroy.
But the original speaker's underlying concern was with the fateful ambiguity in the word errand. Whose errand?

Professor Miller has assembled materials which would otherwise not be easily accessible and which, taken together, present new perspectives on the dominant Christian origin of American political doctrine and civilization.
Beginning with the Puritans and their preoccupation with orthodoxy and continuing with the Quakers, the Congregationalists, Calvinists, and Unitarians, he interprets each from the point of view of its place in social and political change

Very good, slightly bumped corners. The previous owners name is inside the endpaper. Otherwise no writings. Still bright and intact. Great gift idea.

Feel free to email any questions that you may have prior to purchase.

Thanks for stopping in!
