Thomas Prince

Thomas Prince (1687–1758) was a prominent New England Congregationalist minister and historian whose theological writings emphasized divine providence in American colonial history. As pastor of the Old South Church in Boston and compiler of *A Chronological History of New-England*, Prince articulated a providentialist interpretation of New England's settlement and development that profoundly influenced colonial American religious thought. His work, including *The Righteous Acts of the Lord to New England*, exemplified the Puritan intellectual tradition while establishing frameworks for understanding American history through the lens of theological significance.
