An innovative and compelling study of puritanism that follows the full sweep of the movement's history in England and America
Michael Winship is een vooraanstaand historicus van de religie in koloniaal Amerika. Zijn werk duikt diep in de theologische en politieke stromingen die de Puritanse samenleving en haar aspiraties voor een "stad op een heuvel" vormden. Winship onderzoekt hoe Puriteinse denkers de goddelijke voorzienigheid interpreteerden en hoe deze interpretaties werden vertaald in hun politieke en religieuze structuren. Zijn analyses belichten de complexiteit van de vorming van vroege Amerikaanse religieuze en politieke identiteiten, en onthullen de spanningen tussen radicale protestantisme en de invloeden van de Verlichting.

Militant Protestantism and Free Grace in Massachusetts, 1636-1641
The book reinterprets the Massachusetts disputes of the late 1630s, often mischaracterized as the "antinomian controversy." It delves into the intricate interplay of personal agendas and relationships among key figures, presenting these conflicts as a series of interconnected events rather than a singular controversy. Michael Winship utilizes a wide array of sources to provide a nuanced understanding of the religious and political dynamics at play during this pivotal period in early American history.
