This is a welcome investigation of Winthrop's life and thought, well suited for college students and all interested in American religious history. - Bradley J. Longfield, author of The Presbyterian Controversy: Fundamentalists, Modernists, and Moderates Vividly detailed, elegant, and accessible-Michael Parker's John Winthrop is a wonderful biographical introduction to this underappreciated American founder.
