Michael Winship is a leading historian of religion in colonial America. His work delves deeply into the theological and political currents that shaped Puritan society and its aspirations for a "city upon a hill." Winship examines how Puritan thinkers interpreted divine providence and how these interpretations translated into their political and religious structures. His analyses illuminate the complexities of early American religious and political identity formation, revealing the tensions between radical Protestantism and Enlightenment influences.
