Bible Note: Joe, your treatise in defense of the Puritans is both germane to this thread and clearly something that needs to be brought to light in any discussion involving the history of the church in America. Morever, you gave what I believe is a fair and realistic assessment that stands in contrast to popular (erroneous) belief about them. In this context, would it be going too far afield to observe that the disdain with which the Puritans are typically held in our time is not altogether different from the way that we "right-wing radical fundamentalists" are viewed? Oh, but I hope I'm wrong! --Hank |
