This book argues, however, that the position of the patriot clergy was in continuity with a long-standing tradition of Protestant resistance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing from a wide range of sources, \u003cem\u003eJustifying Revolution: The American Clergy's Argument for Political Resistance, 1750-1776\u003c\/em\u003e answers the question of why so many American clergyman found it morally and ethically right to support resistance to British political authority by exploring 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. Gary L. Steward 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gary L.
