A Sermon Delivered At Natick January V Mdcccxvii

From the pulpit history speaks. In January 1817 Rev. Martin Moore stood before the people of Natick Massachusetts to deliver an early American sermon; this early 19th century sermon also offered a clear concise chronicle of their town from its beginnings in 1651 to the very day of preaching. This remarkable local history sermon captures Natick Massachusetts history at the crossroads of 17th century Massachusetts settlement colonial New England life and the emerging United States blending spiritual reflection with careful remembrance in a way few New England town histories can match.As both a work of devotion and a Massachusetts town history book Moore's address opens a rare window onto early American religious history and the everyday concerns of a growing community. Readers glimpse how church civil society and memory intertwined making this volume invaluable for local history researchers for church history students and for general readers curious about early American church sermons and the texture of colonial New England life carried into the new republic. Its measured first-hand perspective makes it an absorbing companion to more formal histories of the period.Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions.

A Sermon Delivered at Natick January 5 1817 is a quietly powerful heritage volume for readers and serious collectors alike.
