James Habersham: Loyalty, Politics, And Commerce In Colonial Georgia (Wormsloe Foundation Publications)
Frank Lambert

University of Georgia Press, 2005

James Habersham was an early American success story. After arriving in Savannah in 1738, he failed in his efforts to wrest a living from the Georgia wilderness and lived his first year at public expense. Then, by dint of his own efforts and through the connections he forged, Habersham emerged as one of the colony's most influential and prosperous citizens, making his name as a planter, merchant, evangelist, and political leader. The third ...

The Barbary Wars: American Independence in the Atlantic World

6 reviews
Frank Lambert

Hill and Wang, 2007

Accurate review of important phase of American history
Lambert's book provides just enough detail to understand the historical context and understand the motivation of the pirate communities of North Africa at that time. One can see from this aspect of early foreign policy how the Articles of Confederation were insufficient for the young republic, for the United States didn't even have the power to tax so as to raise a navy to fight the Barbary ...

The Founding Fathers and the Place of Religion in America

7 reviews
Frank Lambert

Princeton University Press, 2006

Refreshing, Accurate & Fair History of First Amendment
I have to agree with the other reviewers here (like Jack Kessler below): This is a book that should be read by BOTH pro-separationists and anti-separationists. Of all the books that I have read on the subject, this book was *refreshingly* honest, accurate and scholarly, not to mention, a rather enjoyable reading. The author stays clear of attacking either pro-separationists or ...

Inventing the "Great Awakening"

4 reviews
Frank Lambert

Princeton University Press, 2001

A must-read for fans of Lambert or colonial America
This is a well-written analysis of a much misunderstood event in western history. Lambert attempts to explain the establishment and perpetuation of the First Great Awakening in the American colonies and effectively argues his case that the event was one of deliberate planning and execution rather than a spontaneous, pervasive religious revival. The reader is drawn into Lambert's discussion ...

Princeton University Press, 2002

Lambert Illuminates Whitefield's Enterprise
Frank Lambert's book Pedlar in Divinity: George Whitefield and the Transatlantic Revivals, constitutes an extensive inquiry into how Whitefield "and his associates organized, publicized, and funded the revivals" of the Great Awakening (p. 7). Lambert wants to learn "how Whitefield exploited demand for 'experimental religion,'" which he defined as a faith expressed in a "conversion experience" ...

Religion in American Politics: A Short History
Frank Lambert

Princeton University Press, 2008

The delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention blocked the establishment of Christianity as a national religion. But they could not keep religion out of American politics. From the election of 1800, when Federalist clergymen charged that deist Thomas Jefferson was unfit to lead a "Christian nation," to today, when some Democrats want to embrace the so-called Religious Left in order to compete with the Republicans and the Religious Right, ...
