Book Overview

The Life of John Henry Hobart, Bishop of New York is a biographical work written by John Nicholas Norton in 1857. The book chronicles the life of John Henry Hobart, who was the bishop of the Episcopal diocese of New York from 1816 until his death in 1830. The book begins with Hobart's early life and education, detailing his upbringing in Philadelphia and his studies at the University of Pennsylvania. It then moves on to his ordination and early ministry, including his time as rector of Trinity Church in New York City. Throughout the book, Norton explores Hobart's contributions to the Episcopal Church, particularly his efforts to establish a strong and independent American church. He also discusses Hobart's involvement in the controversies of his time, including debates over the role of the church in politics and the relationship between church and state. The Life of John Henry Hobart is a detailed and well-researched biography that provides a comprehensive look at the life and work of one of the most influential figures in the early history of the Episcopal Church in America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
