He focuses on three generations of intellectual ministers-Richard, Increase, and Cotton Mather-in order to challenge the traditional telling of the secularization of Puritanism, a story of faith transformed by reason, science, and business. Delving into the Mathers' private papers and unpublished writings as well as their sermons and published works, Middlekauff describes a Puritan theory of religious experience that is more creative, complex, and uncompromising than traditional accounts have allowed. At the same time, he portrays changing ideas and patterns of behavior that reveal much about the first hundred years of American life. 606 $aPuritans$zMassachusetts$vBiography 607 $aMassachusetts$xIntellectual life$y17th century 607 $aMassachusetts$xIntellectual life$y18th century 615 0$aPuritans 676 $a285/.8/0922744 676 $aB 700 $aMiddlekauff$b Robert$0891032 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813349803321 996 $aThe Mathers$92363489 997 $aUNINA
