NEVER BEFORE IN HISTORY is an eye-opening look at the Colonial American social milieu. If you have visited the American Colonist's Library and carefully perused the material there, you can't help but notice that the documents tend to have a religious flavor, and that is because the American colonial experience was permeated with religion. This important and scholarly new book synthesizes the significance of the context of these colonial documents. This is a must read for anyone interested in understanding the dominant socio-political milieu of early America.
