Reseña del editor:

This exhaustive treatment of the Puritan movement covers its doctrines, its people, its effects on politics and culture, and its enduring legacy in modern Britain and America. * Nearly 700 entries cover the entire spectrum of Puritanism: people, places, events, doctrines, culture, and politics * More than 80 leading scholars provide authoritative information in readable, accessible form * Primary source documents, from essays by influential Puritan leaders to excerpts from diaries of everyday people, illuminate the concerns of Puritans in their own words * Numerous illustrations include portraits of Puritan figures, photographs of historic sites, and images of historical events * A glossary gives quick reference for such unfamiliar terms as antinomianism, conventicles, familist, and Socinian
