| Anyone who is curious about the Puritan society and religion should read this thought-provoking book.

In addition to the concepts mentioned in the title, this work discusses the influence of Bible-based laws in New England; Puritan ideas of death, heaven and hell; Rev. Roger Williams, Anne Hutchinson and the pursuit of toleration; the collapse of the Puritan Period; Puritans becoming outnumbered; economic changes; migration; the Geneva Bible; children, adolescents and families in the Puritan society; psychological, social and other problems of growing up Puritan; and much more. Appendices include: Rev. John Cottons Catechism and Spiritual Milk for Babes Drawn out of the Breasts of both Testaments for their Souls Nourishment; a List of 90 books borrowed by Rev. Richard Mather in 1647 from Captain John Johnson; The Massachusetts Body of Liberties (1641); and Thomas Welds The cursed opinions of Anne Hutchinson. Scholarly perspective is provided in a foreword by Rev. Joyce Larson Frame and a lengthy analytical epilogue by Dr. Lita Linzer Schwartz, Psychologist. - United States - New England - |
