Must have resource for the Puritans
This is a go-to text for understanding the Puritans but more importantly the historical context. Well formatted and indexed for selective study if needed. I recommend cover to cover reading of the work. AAA+++
Description
Abridged from 1.2 million words in 4 volumes to 260K words in one volume.
Our Puritan ancestors were mighty in the things of God. We are little aware of the debt of gratitude which we owe to these defenders of civil and religious liberty – that trial by jury is the law of the land, that the press is free, that we are governed by laws which we help to make, that life and liberty are respected, and above all that we can quietly and peaceably worship God according to the dictates of conscience – we owe to the Puritans.
