The History Of The Old South Church In Boston: In Four Sermons (1830)

The History of the Old South Church in Boston: In Four Sermons is a book written by Benjamin Blydenburg Wisner in 1830. The book provides a comprehensive history of the Old South Church, which was one of the most significant religious institutions in Boston during the colonial period. The book is divided into four sermons, each of which covers a different period in the church's history. The first sermon discusses the founding of the church in 1669 and its early years. The second sermon covers the period of the Great Awakening in the mid-18th century, when the church experienced a surge in membership and influence. The third sermon discusses the role of the church in the American Revolution, including its support for the Patriot cause and the use of the church as a meeting place for revolutionary leaders. The fourth and final sermon covers the church's history in the early 19th century, including its involvement in social reform movements such as abolitionism and temperance. The book provides a valuable historical perspective on the Old South Church and its role in shaping the religious and social landscape of colonial and early America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
