Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study approaches the Puritan experience from the perspective of the pew rather than the pulpit.

From these previously untapped documents, he brings forth forgotten events and personages in a book that both challenges exisiting models of church hierarchy and offers a new understanding of the origins of New England democracy.
