    About this audiobook

    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.

      A good book on the early history of Protestantism in England and the US. The book is well written, except it gets bogged down in places with schismatic theology and English politics.One sentence shows how some of his complexity can be daunting: "Such a shattering of England's organic religious unity was unimaginable and unforgivable to many Presbyterians, especially with all the erroneous and heretical sectaries that the Congregationalists refused to disavow sheltering under the Congregationalist umbrella of Independency."The early chapter on Puritanism in Massachusetts was very good, as is the concluding chapter on the Salem witch trials. A good book, but only for those who are interested in a deep book of Protestantism and Puritan history.

      Excellent history of the Puritans from their European origins to their ultimate population of the new world. Nothing is left out, and I have learned things about the Puritans that I didn't realize that I needed to learn.
