Holy War Rhetoric in Colonial America with Thomas Lecaque

Holy War Rhetoric in Colonial America with Thomas Lecaque

In this episode of Historians & Their Histories, Professor Thomas Lecaque tells us about his current book project on holy war rhetoric in colonial America. He shows how the language and ideology of medieval crusades thrived across Christian denominations during the imperial wars between England and France from 1680 to 1765. Professor Lecaque explains his unique academic journey from medievalist to early American historian and reveals how 18th century holy war sermons were often more apocalyptic than their medieval predecessors. We also learn how this rhetoric of holy violence was not isolated to the pulpit but permeated personal journals and letters.

Professor Lecaque is a recipient of the New England Regional Fellowship Consortium (NERFC) fellowship and the Kenneth and Carol Hills Fellowship in Colonial History.
