The idea of covenant was at the heart of early New England society. In this singular book David Weir explores the origins and development of covenant thought in America by analyzing the town and church documents written and signed by seventeenth-century New Englanders. Unmatched in the breadth of its scope, this study takes into account all of the surviving covenants in all of the New England colonies. Weir's comprehensive survey of seventeenth-century covenants leads to a more complex picture of early New England than what emerges from looking at only a few famous civil covenants like the Mayflower Compact. His work shows covenant theology being transformed into a covenantal vision for society but also reveals the stress and strains on church-state relationships that eventually led to more secularized colonial governments in eighteenth-century New England. He concludes that New England colonial society was much more "English" and much less "American" than has often been thought, and that the New England colonies substantially mirrored religious and social change in Old England.

Excerpt from History of the First Church in Cromwell: 1715-1915 Two centuries of life and labor for the Christ and His Church is the record here chronicled and consumated. The place of this record is the First Congregational Church of Cromwell, Conn. The date, May 23d and 24th, 1915. The duty and the privilege of preparing this History of the First Church in Cromwell came to the writer as an heritage due to the fact that his was the pastorate during the commemorative year of the Two Hundredth Anniversary of the founding of this Church's life. The documentary records of both Church and Society have been faithfully and fully kept. Their story has been substantiated and amplified from the collateral of Town and Colonial records. Conscious of the venerable past of this Church's life and devoutly thankful for the vaster vision and the larger task that awaits us, "let us lay aside every weight and the sin which does so easily beset us and looking unto Jesus the Author and Perfector of our Faith, let us press on toward the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus, our Lord." - For "The Ages come and go, The Centuries pass as years. And Him evermore I behold Walking in Galilee. He toucheth the sightless eyes; Before Him the demons flee; To the dead He sayeth: Arise! To the living: Follow me! And that voice still soundeth on From the Centuries that are gone, To the Centuries that shall be!" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
