Puritanism and Natural Theology

Theology

“Wallace Marshall has provided readers with a thoroughly researched and comprehensive account of Puritan natural theology in England and North America. His closely reasoned, lucid discussion shows that Puritans went beyond the Bible in thinking about the sources of religious knowledge and made extensive use of reason in their expositions of Christian theology. His analysis also reveals that they employed the precepts of natural theology to combat the ravages of doubt in their day-to-day lives.”
