"Challenging and compelling . . . spirited, skilled, clear-eyed
revisionism. This bold probe into politics and personalities frees
the 'free grace controversy' from interpretive convention. The
episode's dynamic has never been so perceptively addressed. I was
stunned by the new take on Thomas Shepard. Winship has a winner . .
. a vanguard contribution to early American and Puritan studies.
Read this one first!"--Michael McGiffert, Editor "Emeritus, William
and Mary Quarterly"
""Making Heretics" places the so-called antinomian controversy
that wracked Massachusetts in the late 1630s in a broad perspective
that reveals new facets of this much-studied event. Michael
Winship's knowledge of transatlantic Puritanism and his extensive
research into hitherto untapped sources have combined to create a
more comprehensive picture than that previously available to
us."--Mary Beth Norton, Cornell University
"Those who believe that the basic knowable facts of the
antinomian controversy already have been established, have not yet
read "Making Heretics," Built upon the fullest canvass of the
evidence yet achieved by any historian, Winship's new book offers
the fullest critical reconstruction of early New England's most
famed event, correcting or going beyond the standard accounts at
many points."--Theodore Dwight Bozeman, University of Iowa
"This book is an impressive achievement. Winship writes crisply
and lucidly, admirably portraying a world in acute flux. He has an
enviable grasp of the range of acceptable disagreement among the
godly in normal times and how that range could contract or even
explode during a crisis. His research in both printed and
manuscript sources is broad and deep. Hereads texts with great care
and constructs important new chronologies in the process. The
result is a compelling story and a fresh synthesis."--John Murrin,
Princeton University
"It has been almost forty years since the last book-length
account of the 'antinomian crisis' appeared. This one will be the
definitive work. Based on sound and sophisticated evidence, it
offers a new conceptualization and, beyond that, gives us a fresh
interpretation of New England Puritanism and Puritan
politics."--Frank Lambert, author of "Inventing the Great
Awakening"
