Puritanism has a reputation for being emotionally dry, but
seventeenth-century Puritans did not only have rich and complex
emotional lives, they also found meaning in and drew spiritual
strength from emotion. From theology to lived experience and from
joy to affliction, this volume surveys the wealth and depth of the
Puritans' passions.
This readable, accessible introduction provides a solid grounding
in the history of the Protestant Reformation. In honor of the 500th
anniversary of the Reformation, Glenn Sunshine examines the key
people and ideas of this movement. Questions for discussion and
suggestions for further reading provided for each chapter make this
book ideal for the classroom or group study.
