Examining the relationship between Hooker's activities and his
writings, Frank Shuffelton considers his role in the crises of
early New England politics and religion. The author analyzes
Hooker's works and shows that as preacher and pastor, theologian
and architect of the Puritan religious community, Thomas Hooker
voiced concerns that remained important throughout American
history. The analysis of Hooker's career is especially valuable for
the information it provides concerning his close involvement with
the major issues of the day: the conflict between Roger Williams
and the Bay Colony; the antinomian controversy; the political and
religious striving of the Massachusetts Bay Colony; and the forming
of a truly American community. The author distinguishes several
phases in Hooker's activities that correspond to his cultural and
geographical milieu at different times. He discusses Hooker's
education, first pastoral experience, and career. Originally
published in 1977. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
