| Description: |
Gentle Puritan: A Life of Ezra Stiles, 1727-1795 |
| Synopsis: |
Now available again, this important biography of the early New England intellectual leader was greeted as a "landmark in the history of the American mind" by Clifford K. Shipton when it appeared in 1962. Stiles lived at a critical time--the transition from the Reformation to the Enlightenment, which came suddenly in New England--and because of his position, his influence was great." Originally published in 1974. A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print. These editions are published unaltered from the original, and are presented in affordable paperback formats, bringing readers both historical and cultural value. |An insightful comparison of Roman Catholicism and Shi'i Islam, focusing on their similarities rather than differences. The authors discuss the histories of each faith, highlight parallels between important figures in each, and consider common doctrinal, structural, and sociopolitical characteristics. |
