Synopsis

This historical study traverses the challenges, beliefs, and motivations that shaped the First Church of Christ, Hartford, from its foundations in 1633 to 1670. The author provides a detailed account of the church's origins in England and the motivations of its founders, particularly focusing on the conflicting but influential roles of Thomas Hooker and Samuel Stone. The book also discusses broader historical events such as the Pequot War and the Cambridge Synod of 1643, emphasizing their impact on the church's development and the formation of its unique identity. The work concludes with a detailed exploration of the formative events leading to the split within the church in 1670, which resulted in the creation of the Second Church of Hartford. This volume presents a comprehensive and immersive account of the historical journey of this influential church, making it an invaluable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone fascinated by the evolution of religious institutions in colonial America.
