Historians have debated how the clergy's support for political resistance during the American Revolution should be understood, often looking to influence outside of the clergy's tradition. In Justifying Revolution: The American Clergy's Argument for Political Resistance, 1750-1776, Gary L. Steward explores the theological background and rich Protestant history available to the American clergy as they considered political resistance and wrestled with the best course of action for them and their congregations. He argues that rather than deviating from their inherited modes of thought, the clergy who supported resistance did so in ways that were consistent with their own theological tradition.
Gary L. Steward is Assistant Professor of History at Colorado Christian University in Lakewood, Colorado. He received a BA in history from South Dakota State University, an MDiv from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, and a ThM in historical theology from Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. He earned a PhD from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Church History and Historical Theology, focusing on American religious history. He previously served as the pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, and currently lives in Arvada, Colorado with his wife and three kids.
