Who were the Puritans, and why are they important? What can we learn from them today? The Puritan movement began in England during the sixteenth century and continued all the way into the early eighteenth century. Although the Church of England was formed as a result of the Reformation, the Puritans believed it needed much more reform. Written for children and young people, this series will prove a suitable introduction to the Puritans for adults as well.

John Eliot Gardiner groeide letterlijk op onder een van de twee schilderijen die er van Johann Sebastian Bach bekend zijn: het hing in zijn ouderlijk huis.

Zijn levenslange omgang met Bach is uitgemond in een boek waarin hij al zijn eruditie en hartstocht heeft aangewend om zo veel mogelijk gre...

He has been studying and perfo...

Cataclysms on the Columbia tells two stories. One follows geological research that challenged the scientific paradigm of the early 20th century, and the other chronicles the result of that research: the discovery of powerful prehistoric floods that shaped the Pacific Northwest. The cataclysms at the end of the last Ice Age left a scabland of buttes, dry falls, and rocky gorges, but it took the detective work of geologist J Harlen Bretz to prove it to the world. His lifetime of research and...

John Eliot (1604-90) has been called "the apostle to the Indians." This book looks at Eliot not from the perspective of modern Protestant "mission" studies (the approach mainly adopted by previous research) but in the historical and theological context of seventeenth-century puritanism. Drawing on recent research on migration to New England, the book argues that Eliot, like many other migrants, went to New England primarily in search of a safe haven to practice pure reformed Christianity, ...

This book traces the development of John Eliot’s mission to the Algonquian-speaking people of Massachusetts Bay, from his arrival in 1631 until his death in 1690.

The book analyzes the spoken words of religious conversion and the written transcription of those narratives; it also considers the Algonquian language texts and English ...
