This book argues, however, that the position of the patriot clergy was in continuity with a long-standing tradition of Protestant resistance.\n\nDrawing from a wide range of sources, Justifying Revolution: The American Clergy's Argument for Political Resistance, 1750-1776 answers the question of why so many American clergyman found it morally and ethically right to support resistance to British political authority by exploring the theological background and rich Protestant history available to the American clergy as they considered political resistance and wrestled with the best course of action for them and their congregations. Gary L. Steward argues that, rather than deviating from their inherited modes of thought, the clergy who supported resistance did so in ways that were consistent with their own theological tradition.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0197565352\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GBV.0197565352.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Steward, Gary L.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has minor corner edge dings and or scratches.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Good Books Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55810394325297,"sku":"GBV.0197565352.VG","price":71.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/3730\/2065\/files\/0197565352-0.jpg?v=1787169969","url":"https:\/\/goodbookscompany.org\/products\/justifying-revolution-the-american-clergys-argument-for-political-resistance-1750-1776","provider":"Good Books Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
