'Weber's famous study of the 'affinity' between the rise of
rational bourgeois capitalism in England and Calvinist-Puritanism
has for almost a century stirred up a cloud of dust and
misunderstanding. Toward the end of settling some of the dust no
one has previously made such an acute analysis of pre-revolutionary
England as has David Little. On the one hand, he has applied and
extended Weber's method, especially in the sphere of the
law-monopoly and corporation law-thus filling a gap in these
studies. He has also delineated the sharply conflicting conceptions
of social order and of legitimation. On the the other hand, Little
has given an invaluable critical survey of the extensive literature
of Weber's thesis. This is a landmark in the study of the complex
and varying relations between religion and society.' -James Luther
Adams, Harvard Divinity School
