Colonial America and How (Not) to Pray Against Cultural Decline: I have come to look forward to reading what Thomas Kidd is writing. In this blog article he writes, "By the 1670s, a cadre of new Puritan ministers—perhaps
America’s first “evangelical” pastors—made a subtle but critical shift. For
these pastors, the emphasis was no longer so much on reform, but on revival;
not on people’s moral effort, but on God’s redemptive power."
