Book Overview

The Life of Thomas Shepard, written by John A. Albro and first published in 1870, is a biography of the influential Puritan minister Thomas Shepard. Shepard was born in England in 1605 and immigrated to Massachusetts in 1635, where he became a prominent figure in the Puritan community. Albro's book traces Shepard's life from his early years in England to his death in 1649, exploring his religious beliefs, his role in the founding of Harvard College, and his impact on the development of Puritan theology. The book draws heavily on Shepard's own writings and sermons, as well as contemporary accounts of his life and work. It is a valuable resource for scholars of early American history and religious studies, as well as anyone interested in the lives of the Puritans and their impact on American culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
