Books by James B. Bell

This book considers three defining movements driven from London and within the region that describe the experience of the Church of England in New England between 1686 and 1786.

Examines the controversial establishment of the first Anglican Church in Boston in 1686, and how later, political leaders John Adams, Samuel Adams, and John Wilkes exploited the disputes as political dynamite together with taxation, trade, and the quartering of troops: topics which John Adams later recalled as causes of the American Revolution.
