Author
Thomas Gross
Thomas Gross was an eighteenth-century American clergyman whose theological contributions reflected the intellectual currents of colonial Protestantism during a period of significant religious and political transformation. His Election Sermon, a genre central to New England ministerial discourse, exemplifies the intersection of Calvinist theology with emerging republican political thought in the decades surrounding American independence. Through his pulpit oratory, Gross participated in the broader clerical effort to articulate the moral and spiritual foundations of civic virtue and social order in the early American republic.
