I happened to listen to to an interview Penguin did with her.  I am intrigued by this book. Not only does she seem a bit plucky, but she seems to have a genuine interest in the Puritans from a different angle than I am used to.

What is particularly interesting to me is that (at least from the interview) she neither approaches them from neither a totally distanced condescending smugness (that many critical commentators and modern non-Reformed scholars would exhibit) nor a strong fondness and passionate interest in their theology (that us “Reformed” people would have).  She seems to really admire the intelligence and scholarly attitude of their society, if not following them in their religious and polemical endeavors and is really interested in John Winthrop.

Having read highly critical histories and highly admiring histories, I think, based on the interview, this one would be an interesting ride.

The house of God is not  built up with blows, with blows it is beaten down. God loves to see holiness and peace, and without peace and holiness no man shall see God,” – William Bridge
