Publisher's Synopsis
""Short Story Of The Rise, Reign And Ruin Of The Antinomians, Familists And Libertines That Infected The Churches Of New England"" is a historical account written by John Winthrop. The book chronicles the rise and fall of various religious groups that emerged in New England during the 17th century. These groups, known as Antinomians, Familists, and Libertines, challenged the strict religious and social norms of the Puritan community. The book provides detailed descriptions of the beliefs and practices of these groups, as well as their impact on the wider community. Winthrop also explores the role of the government and the church in responding to these challenges, including the famous trial and banishment of Anne Hutchinson.
