Sommario/riassunto: This biography provides a new look at the life of Cotton Mather, America's most famous pastor and scholar at the beginning of the eighteenth century. It corrects misconceptions and focuses on how he sought to promote, socially and intellectually, a biblical lifestyle. It further looks at how he led a populist, Bible-oriented movement that embraced the new century--the beginning of a dynamic evangelical tradition that eventually became a major force in American culture.
