Book: Revelation Witchcraft And The Danger Of Knowing God Secrets by Elizabeth Reis
This essay explores the practical or lived dimensions of Puritanism in New England. Building on the work of David D. Hall and other scholars, I examine the ways in which actual religious belief and practice often departed from the Theological ideal. I am particularly attuned to the ways that gender expressed itself amongst believers, often creating a double standard about knowing God’s plans that Puritans themselves might have found surprising had they explicitly considered the ways that gender, status, and power worked against women. The essay argues that knowledge of and access to the Supernatural (including all activity thought to be inspired by God, devils, or angels) were contested, as New England Puritans created, defined, and clarified their convictions regarding God’s ultimate mysterium in a gendered world.Free eBooks (Can Be Downloaded):
