Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book illuminates the history of Congregationalism, a decentralized form of church government where individual congregations hold sovereign authority. Arising from the ideals of Puritan colonists, it became a defining characteristic of the New England colonies, shaping their religious and civic practices. Over time, the Congregationalist polity evolved, influenced by various controversies and councils, including the notorious Anne Hutchinson case. The book delves into these formative events, exploring the tensions between individual autonomy and collective responsibility, and the complex interplay between church and state. The author traces the movement's gradual departure from its strict founding principles, acknowledging its shifts in doctrine, ministerial roles, and the role of the laity. By examining the development of Congregationalism, this work sheds light not only on the evolution of a religious tradition but also on the broader themes of religious liberty, community governance, and the ongoing pursuit of ecclesiastical perfection.
