The Puritans: A Transatlantic History
Description:
Product Description
A panoramic history of Puritanism in England, Scotland, and New EnglandThis book is a sweeping transatlantic history of Puritanism from its emergence out of the religious tumult of Elizabethan England to its founding role in the story of America. Shedding critical light on the diverse forms of Puritan belief and practice in England, Scotland, and New England, David Hall describes the movement’s deeply ambiguous triumph under Oliver Cromwell, its political demise with the Restoration of the English monarchy in 1660, and its perilous migration across the Atlantic to establish a “perfect reformation” in the New World. This monumental book traces how Puritanism was a catalyst for profound cultural changes in the early modern Atlantic world, opening the door for other dissenter groups such as the Baptists and the Quakers, and leaving its enduring mark on religion in America.

Review
“Hall’s magisterial work provides a ground-breaking international history of this controversial religious movement as it emerged in the Old World and evolved to shape the New. . . . [
The Puritans] will become one of the definitive histories of its subject.”
―Crawford Gribben, Wall Street Journal\n“This is a stunning achievement, a magisterial account of religious, cultural, and political change in early modern Scotland, England, and New England. No one understands the Puritans better than David Hall, and his comparative perspective casts everything about them in a fresh light―it’s all here, brilliantly interpreted.”
―E. Brooks Holifield, author of Theology in America: Christian Thought from the Age of the Puritans to the Civil War\n“Thoughtful, thorough, accessible, and immensely learned.”
―Alec Ryrie, Church Times
