Summary:

The Culture of English Puritanism is a major contribution to the debate on the nature and extent of early modern puritanism. In their introduction the editors provide an up-to-date survey of the long-standing debate on puritanism, before proceeding to outline their own definition of the movement. They argue that puritanism should be defined as a unique and vibrant religious culture, which was grounded in a distinctive psychological outlook and which manifested itself in a set of highly characteristic religious practices.
