On fire for God-a sweeping history of puritanism in England and
America Begun in the mid-sixteenth century by Protestant
nonconformists keen to reform England's church and society while
saving their own souls, the puritan movement was a major catalyst
in the great cultural changes that transformed the early modern
world. Providing a uniquely broad transatlantic perspective, this
groundbreaking volume traces puritanism's tumultuous history from
its initial attempts to reshape the Church of England to its
establishment of godly republics in both England and America and
its demise at the end of the seventeenth century. Shedding new
light on puritans whose impact was far-reaching as well as on those
who left only limited traces behind them, Michael Winship
delineates puritanism's triumphs and tribulations and shows how the
puritan project of creating reformed churches working closely with
intolerant godly governments evolved and broke down over time in
response to changing geographical, political, and religious
exigencies.
