Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and legacy of John Wheelwright, a controversial Puritan minister who emigrated to New England in the 1630s. The book explores the complex religious and political landscape of early America, a period marked by intense theological debate and the struggle for religious freedom. The author examines Wheelwrightââ â¢s involvement in the Antinomian controversy, a major religious schism that threatened the stability of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The book meticulously traces the events that led to Wheelwrightââ â¢s banishment from the colony, including his famous Fast Day sermon, which was seen as seditious by the authorities. It also sheds light on the political machinations of the time, revealing how the clergy wielded significant influence in colonial affairs. Through detailed analysis of primary sources, the book illuminates the profound impact of religious dissent on the early development of New England society and the tensions between religious freedom and social order.
