Publisher's Synopsis
""A Defense Of The Fathers Of New England: With An Examination Of Observations On Congregationalism And Methodism"" is a book written by Zerah Kent Hawley in 1847. The book is a defense of the early leaders of New England, particularly the Congregationalists, against criticisms made by Methodists. Hawley argues that the Congregationalists were faithful to the teachings of the Bible and that their system of church governance was the most biblical and effective. He also critiques the Methodist system of church governance, arguing that it is too hierarchical and not sufficiently democratic. The book provides a detailed examination of the theological and practical differences between Congregationalism and Methodism, and offers a passionate defense of the Congregationalist tradition. Overall, ""A Defense Of The Fathers Of New England"" is an important historical document that sheds light on the religious debates of the mid-19th century in America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
