Popish Idolatry is a powerful discourse delivered by Jonathan Mayhew at Harvard College in 1765.

This historic text provides valuable insights into the theological debates and social tensions that shaped early American society. Scholars and readers interested in religious history, colonial America, and the development of American thought will find this discourse a compelling and important primary source.
