A review by sistermagpie
Orthodoxy in Massachusetts 1630-1650 by Perry Miller

3.0

I can't really blame this book for being a little hard to follow as it traces the religious arguments in the mid 17th century when Puritans set out for New England. It's not a question of it being badly written, just that my mind would inevitably wander and then I'd have lost who was arguing and exactly what their position was.

But it was still amazing to think about just how important any difference in religious opinion could be at that time. Though there were also times when I couldn't help think of Princess Leia saying "The more you tighten your grip the more star systems (or Protestants) will slip through your fingers."
