Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: From dust jacket flap: For two and a half centuries, Professor Bainton points out, southern New England has maintained an unbroken continuity as a religious community. While the rest of the American colonies and nation have been battlegrounds for conflicting ideas and interests, the great Connecticut Valley and its tributaries kept together to a remarkable degree the three major Christian themes: theology, piety, and social concern. That is why YALE AND THE MINISTRY is so significant. These three great streams, fed so long by the region influenced by Yale, now characterize the religious life of a nation.
