About the author

Born in Lyme, Connecticut, in 1745, Andrew Lee graduated from Yale in 1766 and entered the ministry soon after. He was ordained in 1768 as pastor of the church in Lisbon, Connecticut, where he remained for most of his life.

Lee became known for both long service and substantial religious writing. Sources describe him as a Congregational minister who later served on Yale's corporation, and several of his sermons and theological works were published, including Sermons on Various Important Subjects and An Inquiry whether it be the Duty of Man to be willing to be damned for the Glory of God.

For readers today, Lee offers a window into the intellectual and spiritual life of early New England. His work reflects the close link between preaching, doctrine, and public life in the generation after the colonial period.
