Preface
The Puritan Experiment was first published in 1976. It originated from a series of notes I had developed for my doctoral study group at Columbia University. I had undertaken that task because there was no single volume that introduced nonspecialists to the breadth of colonial New England studiesthe theology and the demography, the periphery as well as Massachusetts Bay. The confidence of Chilton Williamson, Jr., at St. Martin's Press and the encouragement of Alden Vaughan, my supervisor at Columbia, made it possible to turn those notes into a book. The Puritan Experiment was written as an interpretive synthesis, though I tried to bring to the work my own sense of the importance of a trans-Atlantic perspective on Puritanism and my awareness of the variations within the orthodox New England Way. I have been gratified by many reports indicating that it has proved useful, even in xerox copies after it had gone out of print!

In revising this volume I have tried to come to terms with this new scholarship, but I find that my understanding of the subject has not fundamentally changed. What has changed is that the trans-Atlantic dimension features even more prominently than before; the early chapters contain some new insights that reflect the rich current scholarship on Tudor-Stuart religion; and I have totally restructured a number of chapters and have made some changes in all of them. While I have once again incorporated my own insights where appropriate, the strengths of
