Synopsis

How religious ideas from Europe helped shape America’s beginnings The book traces the roots of the American religious landscape in Europe, showing how ideas from the sixteenth century onward set the stage for our national life. It connects great events, ideas, and people to the shaping of American government and culture.

Beginning with the sixteenth century, it surveys the rise of Protestantism, the challenges to the Papacy, and the way these movements influenced the early colonies. It highlights Holland’s role as a source of reform, liberty, and industrious values that traveled across the Atlantic. The narrative moves through the Puritan and Pilgrim story, the Dutch presence in North America, and the long arc of religious liberty that informs the American story, including references to the Mayflower voyage and early settlements.
