Description
The descriptive label of "puritanism" first came into use in 1564. It has since undergone radical transformation and is now oftentimes used as a pejorative term. But the Puritans and puritanism have a richer, deeper meaning, both in a religious and political context. Discover how the movement rose to prominence and profoundly impacted both the religious life and the constitutional history of the nation of England. Originally published in the early twentieth century, this small work by John Brown presents a concise history of the rise, expansion, and ultimate fall of the Puritan movement that will be sure to delight and inform you on a fascinating aspect of church history.
