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 and published in 1847. The book is a defense of the early leaders of New England, particularly the Congregationalists, against criticisms from other religious groups, such as the Methodists. Hawley argues that the Congregationalists were the true founders of American Christianity and that their practices and beliefs were in line with the teachings of the Bible. He also critiques the beliefs and practices of the Methodists, arguing that they deviated from the original intent of Christianity. The book provides a historical perspective on the development of Christianity in America and the conflicts between different religious groups during the early years of the country. Overall, ""A Defense Of The Fathers Of New England"" is a comprehensive analysis of the religious landscape of America during the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
