Although their statues grace downtown Hartford, Connecticut, few
tourists are aware that the founding ministers of Hartford's First
Church, Thomas Hooker and Samuel Stone (after whose English
birthplace the city is named), carried a distinctive version of
Puritanism to the Connecticut wilderness. Shaped by Protestant
interpretations of the writings of Saint Augustine, and largely
developed during the ministers' years at Emmanuel College,
Cambridge, and as "godly" lecturers in English parish churches,
Hartford's church order diverged in significant ways from its
counterpart in the churches of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
Focusing especially on Hooker, Baird Tipson explores the
contributions of William Perkins, Alexander Richardson, and John
Rogers to his thought and practice, the art and content of his
preaching, and his determination to define and impose a distinctive
notion of conversion on his hearers. Hooker's colleague Samuel
Stone composed The Whole Body of Divinity, a comprehensive
treatment of his thought (and the first systematic theology written
in the American colonies). Stone's Whole Body, virtually unknown to
scholars, not only provides the indispensable intellectual context
for the religious development of early Connecticut but also offers
a more comprehensive description of the Puritanism of early New
England than anything previously available. Hartford Puritanism
argues for a new paradigm of New England Puritanism, one where
Hartford's founding ministers, Thomas Hooker and Samuel Stone, both
fully embraced and even harshened Calvin's double predestination.
