The Antinomian controversy--a seventeenth-century theological
crisis concerning salvation--was the first great intellectual
crisis in the settlement of New England. Transcending the
theological questions from which it arose, this symbolic
controversy became a conflict between power and freedom of
conscience. David D. Hall's thorough documentary history of this
episode sheds important light on religion, society, and gender in
early American history.
This new edition of the 1968 volume, published now for the first
time in paperback, includes an expanding bibliography and a new
preface, treating in more detail the prime figures of Anne
Hutchinson and her chief clerical supporter, John Cotton. Among the
documents gathered here are transcripts of Anne Hutchinson's trial,
several of Cotton's writings defending the Antinomian position, and
John Winthrop's account of the controversy. Hall's increased focus
on Hutchinson reveals the harshness and excesses with which the New
England ministry tried to discredit her and reaffirms her place of
prime importance in the history of American women.
