By John Winthrop Platner

Book Overview

The Religious History of New England: King's Chapel Lectures (1917) by John Winthrop Platner is a comprehensive study of the religious history of New England. The book is based on the King's Chapel Lectures that Platner delivered in Boston in 1917. The lectures explore the religious beliefs and practices of the early settlers of New England, including the Puritans, Quakers, and Baptists. Platner examines the role of religion in the founding and development of New England, and how it shaped the region's culture and society. He also discusses the impact of religious dissent and conflict on the region, including the Salem Witch Trials and the Great Awakening. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religion in America, and provides a detailed and nuanced perspective on the religious diversity of New England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
