Jason Haven

Jason Haven (1733–1786) was a Congregational minister and theologian whose work exemplified the intellectual currents of late eighteenth-century New England Protestantism. His election sermon represents an important contribution to the genre of political theology in Revolutionary America, reflecting contemporary debates about divine providence, civil authority, and the moral foundations of the newly independent nation. Haven's theological writings demonstrate the enduring influence of Calvinist thought during a period of significant social and religious transformation.
