Recenzje

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.
