1743 Colonial BOSTON 1st Chauncy Thoughts on Religion in New England Whitefield
Charles Chauncy was a 17th-century Anglican churchman best-remembered for migrating to Plymouth in the New World, where he was known to have influenced American theologians such as Cotton Mather. Because of his Puritan views, he left England in hopes of facing less opposition for his theology.
His book “Seasonable Thoughts on the State of Religion in New England” was written to examine the religions associated with the Great Awakening. Chauncy defends the established church order as well as the authority and structure of traditional clergy, doing so in a manner that was in direct opposition to George Whitefield.
