Chaplains and Clergy of the Revolution by J. Headley

The Ministers of the Gospel 200 years ago prepared the colonies for the struggle for independence. It was their vigorous preaching and active participation in the war itself that gave the religious sanction and inspiration for the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. This history, written by Headley in 1864 before the Centennial, should provide a blessed resurgence of Christian doctrine and faith. What our people believed and did 200 years ago, they did because GOD is the Author of liberty, and to attain a free country. The messages compiled herein are of special significance, first because they counteract the neutralizing preaching of they that tells Christians that they should not become involved in such matters, second, because of the Communist drive for "revolution" to help them in their drive for a Socialist America.
