An innovative and compelling study of puritanism that follows the full sweep of the movement's history in England and America
Michael P. Winship Knihy
Michael Winship je popredný historik náboženstva v koloniálnej Amerike. Jeho diela sa hlboko ponárajú do teologických a politických prúdov, ktoré formovali puritánsku spoločnosť a jej snahy o vytvorenie „mesta na kopci“. Winship skúma, ako puritánski myslitelia interpretovali božie zámery a ako sa tieto interpretácie premietli do ich politických a náboženských štruktúr. Jeho analýzy osvetľujú zložitosť formovania raných amerických náboženských a politických identít a odhaľujú napätie medzi radikálnym protestantizmom a vplyvmi osvietenstva.

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.
