The Piety of John Witherspoon: Pew, Pulpit and Public Forum

by L. Gordon Tait

Book Overview

Presbyterian minister John Witherspoon was a key figure, politically and religiously, in the formative years of the United States. In this fresh account of Witherspoon's thought, L. Gordon Tait focuses on Witherspoon's piety--the way Witherspoon believed that the Christian faith should take visible and practical form in ministry, politics, and everyday obedience and devotion. The Piety of John Witherspoon is filled with photographs from Witherspoon's life, and Tait's comprehensive treatment of Witherspoon makes a significant contribution to the understanding of his impact on church, education, and society.

The Piety of John Witherspoon: Pew, Pulpit & Public Forum

Although I haven't read this book yet, I plan to get it somehow. I am researching family history and this is one of my descendents. I think this is so cool.
