Summary:	"[Stout] has created a field of scholarship hitherto neglected --the manuscript sermon as a source of religious culture in colonial times. More than that, he has shown the extent to which sermon notes add to our knowledge of the times, notably for the period of the Great Awakening. And he has done so with great insight -- New England Quarterly."
