Pressezitat
“This book’s spatial and temporal framework make it especially illuminating. Bremer is not the first historian to situate Puritanism in its transatlantic context, but he renders that context more useful by making it multidirectional.” (Shelby M. Balik, Journal of American History, Vol. 103 (1), June, 2016)“Lay Empowerment, while drawing on some primary source material, predominantly assembles existing research in a useful new framework that emphasizes how central the laity were to the development of puritanism. … the study as a whole offers a valuable account of the lay contribution to puritanism’s coherence and dynamism across its diverse manifestations.” (Kate Narveson, American Historical Review, Vol. 121 (3), June, 2016)
