Solomon Stoddard's 'Arguments' Concerning Admission to the Lord's Supper.

Reprints Solomon Stoddard's arguments in his debate with Increase Mather over the nature of Puritanism. This paper represents Stoddard's position at the 1679 synod, and reflects his change from "a proponent of unregenerate communion to an advocate of the sacrament's alleged converting property." This marked a major deviation from New England orthodoxy. Primary and secondary sources; 28 notes.
