Excerpt from the DJ flap
Cotton Mather's Great Works of Christ in America, prepared between 1693-97 and published in 1702, was a grand finale to a century rich in spiritual literature. Written at the end of an era, it recaptured and recorded for posterity the spirit of that 'best part' of the English Church--the men who, from a flood-tide of blessing and persecution in the 1620's and 30's, led the emigration to New England.
In essence, the volume is a Puritan Church History, covering much of the 17th Century and supplying a unique commentary on many of its Christian leaders.
