Protestantism in America: A Narrative History
by Jerald C. Brauer
Sources
The purpose of this section is to list in consecutive order the titles from which quotations were taken. For those wishing a fully documented and detailed history of Christianity in America, the following works of Professor William Warren Sweet are indispensable: The Story of Religion in America, 2d rev. ed. (Harper & Brothers, 1950); Religion in Colonial America (Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1942); Religion in the Development of American Culture (Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1952). These three volumes have full bibliographies covering every phase of religion in America. Other indispensable tools are: H. Shelton Smith, Robert T. Handy, and Lefferts A. Loetscher, American Christianity (Charles Scribner’s Sons, Vol. I, 1960; Vol. II, 1963); Sidney E. Mead, The Lively Experiment (Harper & Row, Publishers, Inc., 1963); and Edwin Scott Gaustad, Historical Atlas of Religion in America (Harper & Row, Publishers, Inc., 1962). The indispensable bibliographical source is Nelson R. Burr, A Critical Bibliography of Religion in America (Princeton University Press, 2 vols., 1961). Also, a good deal of bibliographical material is available in Professor Kenneth Scott Latourette’s A History of the Expansion of Christianity, Vols. IV and VII (Harper & Brothers, 1941 and 1945).
CHAPTER I
Ashton, Robert, ed., The Works of John Robinson, Vol. I. London, John Snow, 1851. The account of Robinson’s parting advice was reported by John Winslow, and there is no extant copy of the sermon; therefore, this book paraphrases the message as reported by Winslow in Ashton’s edition of Robinson’s works.
