This book traces the evolution of religious life among New England's earliest inhabitants, the Puritans. It highlights the stark severity of their doctrines, the intense personal introspection they practiced, and their conviction of the absolute authority of the Bible. The author then examines how these deeply held beliefs gave way over time to a gradual decline in Puritanism's fervor and intellectual dominance. The ideas examined in this religious shift encompass the political, social, and intellectual forces that reshaped New England society and how these diminishing beliefs led to new religious awakenings, notably the Great Awakening. By exploring the factors behind this religious transformation, the author sheds light on the broader trends that shaped American religious thought and practice.
