church at See also:Bethlehem, Connecticut. The publication of his best-known See also:work, True See also:Religion Delineated (1750), won for him a high reputation as a theologian, and the See also:book was several times reprinted both in See also:England and in See also:America. Despite the fact that with the exception of the See also:period of the " See also:Great Awakening " (1740-1742), when he preached as an itinerant in several neighbouring colonies, his active labours were confined to his own See also:parish, his See also:influence on the religious thought of his time in America was probably surpassed only by that of his old friend and teacher Jonathan Edwards. This influence was due not only to his publications, but also to the " school " or classes for the training of clergymen which he conducted for many years at his See also:home and from which went forth scores of preachers to every See also:part of New England and the See also:middle colonies (states). Bellamy's " See also:system " of divinity was in See also:general similar to that of Edwards. During the See also:War of See also:Independence he was loyal to the American cause. The university of See also:Aberdeen conferred upon him the honorary degree of D.D. in 1768. He was a powerful and dramatic preacher. His published See also:works, in addition to that above mentioned, include The See also:Wisdom of See also:God in the Permission of See also:Sin (1758), his most characteristic work; Theron, See also:Paulinus and Aspasio; or Letters and Dialogues upon the Nature of Love to God, Faith in See also:Christ, and Assurance of a See also:Title to Eternal See also:Life (1759) ; The Nature and See also:Glory of the See also:Gospel (1762); A See also:Blow at the See also:Root of Antinomianism (1763); There is but One See also:Covenant (1769); Four Dialogues on the See also:Half-Way Covenant (1769) ; and A Careful and Strict Examination of the See also:External Covenant (1769).
His collected Works were published in 3 vols. (New See also:York, 1811-1812), and were republished with a Memoir by Rev. See also:Tryon Edwards (2 vols., See also:Boston, 1850).
