Recenzii
Steward gets kudos for engaging in a lot of research and arguably for making the case as well as it can be made.
This book is highly recommended to any who are interested in the role of religion in the American Revolution.
ustifying Revolution is a deeply researched volume that specialists in the American Revolution will find well worth reading.
Justifying Revolution is a valuable addition to the literature on American history and church history alike. Academic historians and casual history buffs will all learn new things. And pastors grappling with age-old questions about how far duties are owed to the government can read this book with profit too, as an introduction to an important line of Reformed thought about the duties owed by the citizen to the civil government.
Justifying Revolution makes a compelling case that pious Americans appropriated a resistance theology, with roots in the Protestant Reformation, to provide biblical support for their resistance to British colonial rule. This illuminating study of the religious controversies that contributed to the American Revolution and the arguments patriot preachers used to justify the fight for independence casts much needed light on the profound, yet often ignored, influence of Protestant thought on the Revolution.
Students of the American founding have long recognized that ministers played an important role in advocating for independence. But far too many scholars contend that they did so because they had embraced radical political ideas that are at odds with the Bible and orthodox Christianity. Justifying Revolution is an excellent contribution to a growing body of literature arguing that the patriot clergy were in fact drawing from a long tradition of Protestant political reflection. Highly recommended.
Gary L. Steward's Justifying Revolution represents an important intervention in the rich literature on religion, republicanism, and the American Revolution. Steward persuasively argues that Patriot clergy were not advancing novel arguments for resistance based on heterodox intellectual influences. Instead, they were drawing on a deep Protestant tradition of resistance against unjust political power.
