The American Puritans

De: Dustin Benge, Nate Pickowicz

Narrado por: Lance Smith

In The American Puritans, Dustin Benge and Nate Pickowicz tell the story of the first hundred years of Reformed Protestantism in New England through the lives of nine key figures: William Bradford, John Winthrop, John Cotton, Thomas Hooker, Thomas Shepard, Anne Bradstreet, John Eliot, Samuel Willard, and Cotton Mather. Here is sympathetic yet informed history, a book that corrects many myths and half-truths told about the American Puritans while inspiring a current generation of Christians to let their light shine before men.

Cotton Mather exhonorated

Short compendiums about very important American Puritans. Learned very much, and very compelling and interesting. Especially Cotton Mather and more information regarding the Salem witch trials, and his impact upon ending them. This story does indeed exonerate him, as always, when you hear the rest of the story.

Excellent popular primer on the Puritans

Enjoyed both the content and delivery. Having been raised on Puritan literature, it was refreshing, inspiring and challenging to be taught the life of some prominent American Puritans. The sketches are balanced, rounded and comprehensive. My only critique is that a little more rigorous editing could have been done to reduce some minor repetition between events of chapters. As another reviewer pointed out: this is likely due to these chapters being originally individual addresses.

a good intro to the Puritans

Realy enjoyed learning about these men and women who braved the north Atlantic to be able to worship Jesus in freedom.

A Great Primer on American Puritan History

Historical, biographical, and informative- particularly if you're interested in the history of Christianity in America.

Great book

Great stories about different puritan leaders in America. Detailed biographies about each and what led them to become puritans and leaders of Christ’s church.

Great book!!!

Great descriptions of the lives of those before us who loved the Lord despite everything. Great examples of perseverance and sacrifice.
