Book Description
The Colonial church was easy-going as regards doctrines and life, and yet it left its impress on the generations it served. There were churches built in good taste and served by parsons who were scholars if they were not religious enthusiasts. That they were over-fond of fox-hunting and sometimes took a bit too much wine is true, but as they were also the schoolmasters they were perhaps entitled to a little relaxation. A man who preached on Sunday and buried and married, as well as taught six days in the week, was pretty busy. The parsons were farmers besides. -- Introduction.

The Colonial Church Records of the First Church of Reading (Wakefield) and the First Church of Rumney Marsh (Revere)

ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
"Presented in this volume are two of the finest sets of church records from the colonial era of Massachusetts history that have thus far remained unpublished. Culled from a survey of hundreds of sets of church records, these two sets, from Reading (Wakefield) and Rumney Marsh (Revere), are a testament to the rich diversity of early New England religious culture. Both are remarkable for their chronological breadth, their depth, or both, and reveal an extraordinary amount of information on church life over the course of the colonial era. The Reading records, in particular, are unique insofar as they cover the entire period up to the Revolution, while the Rumney Marsh book casts unprecedented light on the neglected period of 1715 through 1757."--BOOK JACKET.
