The Puritan in Holland, England, and America (2 vols.)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Douglas Campbell’s classic two-volume work, The Puritan in Holland, England, and America, examines Puritanism—a product of reformation and producer of revolution—as the ideal that spurred the development of religious and civil freedom first in Holland, then in England and America. Campbell tells the story of how the initially persecuted Puritans’ doctrine and beliefs became a cultural force that eventually helped develop the spirit of limited government, religious freedom, and mass public education. Campbell first grew interested in the topic in law school and it became a lifelong research project. He traveled to England and Holland, fulfilling professional duties and continuing his research on the side. He was finally able to record the text of his work when a permanent illness forced him out of actively practicing law. Campbell’s passion shines in his logical writing and insight.
