Unvanquished Puritan

Résumé du livre

"Lyman Beecher (1775-1863) is usually identified as the father of his justly famous children, or as a charming, eccentric clergyman who entertained his audiences even while he assisted them in working toward salvation. Others have seen in him no more than the activist preacher who popularized the theology of Nathaniel Taylor. Here, however, is a study of Beecher himself, whom Stuart Henry regards as one of the most important influences in the evolution of American Christianity during the early years of the nation." --
