Charles Walker
Charles Walker was an eighteenth-century American clergyman whose Election Sermon exemplifies the intersection of Calvinist theology and Revolutionary-era political thought. His work reflects the broader intellectual currents of New England Congregationalism during a period when religious leaders actively engaged with questions of civil governance and divine providence. Walker's sermon contributes to our understanding of how theological concepts of election and covenant were adapted to justify emerging American political ideals.
