The Lives of David Brainerd : The Making of an American Evangelical Icon PDF
by John A Grigg
Part of the Religion in American Life series
Description
The story of the eighteenth century preacher David Brainerd has been told in dozens of popular biographies, articles, and short essays.
Almost without exception, these works are celebratory, even hagiographic in nature, making him into a kind of Protestant saint, a model for generations of missionaries.
This book will be the first scholarly biography of Brainerd, drawing on everything from town records and published sermons to hand-written fragments to tell the story not only of Brainerd's life, but of his legend.
