Observing that intellectual changes within
late-seventeenth-century Massachusetts Puritan culture closely
paralleled changes within Puritan culture in England, Michael
Winship re-examines one of the more nettlesome issues in the
intellectual history of early New England. How did the logic
Puritanism square itself with the increasingly hostile assumptions
of the early Enlightenment? And, faced with a new intellectual
world whose parameters were formed to a large extent in opposition
to Puritanism, how did Puritans try to maintain credibility? In
"Seers of God," Winship's compelling analysis of topics ranging
from theology to witchcraft places the problem of intellectual
change fully in a transatlantic context.
