This book offers an alternative account of popular religion in early modernity by reconstructing a striking and unstudied community of seventeenth-century puritan immigrants to North America. In doing so, it presents unparalleled evidence for lay engagement with biblical scholarship and a new vision of lay puritanism in the Atlantic world.
