Reviews

“… think of no finer way to honor my father’s name and his innumerable gifts to me than to facilitate the fulfillment of this last wish and request by editing his meticulous research into publishable form, thereby making Charles Chauncy’s evangelical Christianity, his patriotism, and his universal humanity available to a wider readership today.” – Prof. Lee Gibbs, Cleveland State University
