Joseph Moss

Joseph Moss was an eighteenth-century American clergyman whose theological contributions reflected the intellectual currents of colonial New England Protestantism. His *Election Sermon*, delivered during a period of significant religious and political ferment, exemplifies the genre's role in articulating connections between divine providence and civic governance during the early American republic. Moss's work represents the broader ministerial engagement with questions of religious authority and democratic participation that characterized the transitional era between colonial establishment and American independence.
