Bøger af John Cotton

Or his peoples' deliverance in times of danger. Laid open in several sermons. Also found within is The True Constitution of a particular visible church, proved by Scripture. Wherein is briefly demonstrated by questions and answers what officers, worship and government Christ hath ordained in his church. These sermons by Pastor Cotton are written in Old English text and due to the age of the originals we reproduced, some pages may be spotty or faded.

John Cotton Jr was the second son of one of the famous clergymen of New England's founding generation. At the age of 22, already pastor of the church in Wethersfield, he lost his ministry as a result of a sexual scandal. Disgraced and jobless, Cotton moved his family to distant Martha's Vineyard to start anew as a missionary to the Indians.
