Synopsis
Two 1760 discourses explore divine guidance, military success, and the duties of gratitude.
This edition presents Jonathan Mayhew’s two sermons that examine how divine providence intersects with war, victory, and public thanksgiving. It looks at how faith informs interpretation of military events and the responsibilities of gratitude in times of national crisis. The material is rooted in historical reflections on battles, salvation, and the role of Providence in shaping a nation’s future.

- See how a preacher links military success to divine purpose and moral duty
- Explore discussions of national gratitude, humility, and ongoing faithfulness

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the successes and consequences of national wars from two perspectives. The first is a high-level philosophical reflection on divine providence in the outcomes of war, reflecting on the extent to which God has a role in the victories of nations. The second perspective is an exploration of the historical consequences of war, especially on the spread of Christianity throughout history. The author argues that war often plays a preparatory and introductory role for the spread of the Christian gospel. While this is not the intention of those nations going to war, there is a grander design and purpose in place that is larger than their small sphere of influence. Filled with thought-provoking ideas and historical examples, this book is a must-read for scholars of religious history, political science, and anyone interested in the intersection of faith and war.
