Notes	Copyright © 2024 by David A. Robinson. Presented here with permission.“This book traces the impact of diverse religious leaders of the thirteen Colonies on the 1774 debate: how to respond to the closing of the Boston Harbor? It reveals how colonial clergy alerted their congregations to the impending loss of civil, economic, and religious liberty. Robinson shows how the writings, denominational networks, and preaching by prominent clergy influenced the delegates of the First Continental Congress in Philadelphia in 1774.” — back cover
