The Puritan as Yankee: A Life of Horace Bushnell
Infant Piety in New England: The Legacy of Horace Bushnell
T HE growth of liberal following the first Great Awakening is associated with William Ellery Channing (1780-1842), for whom the Calvinism of the founders of New England failed to meet the needs of the day.

He had, moreover, the ability to define each phase of the process with extraordinary care, so that if sinners could not discern the moment of saving grace they would certainly know the manner in which it could be achieved. No other Puritan d…
