Daniel Foster

Daniel Foster was an eighteenth-century American clergyman whose Election Sermon exemplifies the intersection of Calvinist theology and Revolutionary-era political thought in New England. His work reflects the broader intellectual currents of the period, wherein ministers engaged scriptural interpretation to address questions of civil governance and divine providence during a time of significant social upheaval. Foster's contributions to the election sermon genre demonstrate the vital role of ecclesiastical voices in shaping colonial and early American political discourse.
