Among the proliferation of Puritan sects across England in the
seventeenth century, a remarkable number began adopting
demonstratively Jewish ritual practices. From circumcision to
Sabbath-keeping and dietary laws, their actions led these movements
were labelled by their contemporaries as Judaizers, with various
motives proposed. Were these Judaizing steps an excrescence of
over-exuberant biblicism? Were they a by-product of Protestant
apocalyptic tendencies? Were they a response to the changing status
of Jews in Europe? In Jewish Christians in Puritan England, Aidan
Cottrell-Boyce shows that it was instead another aspect of
Puritanism that led to this behaviour: the need to be recognised as
a 'singular', positively distinctive, Godly minority. This quest
for demonstrable uniqueness as a form of assurance united the
Judaizing groups with other Protestant movements, while the
depiction of Judaism in Christian rhetoric at the time made them a
peculiarly ideal model upon which to base the marks of their
salvation.
