The Trial of Anne Hutchinson re-creates one of the most tumultuous
and significant episodes in early American history: the struggle
between the followers and allies of John Winthrop, governor of the
Massachusetts Bay Colony, and those of Anne Hutchinson, a
strong-willed and brilliant religious dissenter. The controversy
pushed Massachusetts to the brink of collapse and spurred a
significant exodus. The Puritans who founded Massachusetts were
poised between the Middle Ages and the modern world, and in many
ways, they helped to bring the modern world into being. The Trial
of Anne Hutchinson plunges participants into a religious world that
will be unfamiliar to many of them. Yet the Puritans passionate
struggles over how far they could tolerate a diversity of religious
opinions in a colony committed to religious unity were part of a
larger historical process that led to religious freedom and the
modern concept of separation of church and state. Their vehement
commitment to their liberties and fears about the many threats
these faced were passed down to the American Revolution and beyond.

ferment.
An award-winning active-learning pedagogy, Reacting to the Past
improves speaking, writing, and leadership skills, promotes
engagement with classic texts and history, and builds learning
communities. Reacting can be used across the curriculum, from the
first-year general education class to capstone experiences. A
Reacting game can also function as the discussion component of
lecture classes, or it can be enlisted for intersession courses,
honors programs, and other specialized curricular purposes."
