Description

Thomas Shepard's Autobiography and Journal offer a unique insight into the life of a 17th-century Puritan minister. Written in the early years of Massachusetts Bay, these works reveal the physical and mental challenges faced by the first generation of settlers, as well as their inner struggles with faith and doctrine. The Autobiography provides a detailed account of Shepard's experiences in England and America, while the Journal offers a more introspective exploration of his spiritual life. Both texts have been newly transcribed from the original manuscripts and edited by Professor Michael McGiffert, providing a valuable contribution to Puritan scholarship. This volume marks an important milestone in the study of Puritan spirituality, offering a fresh perspective on this fascinating period in American history.
