We continue our discussion with Dr. David Hall on the religious and cultural legacy of the Puritans\u2014and on Mary Baker Eddy. Hall is author of The Puritans: A Transatlantic History<\/em> (2019) and A Reforming People: Puritanism and the Transformation of Public Life in New England<\/em> (2011). Topics covered in this episode include the theological concept of predestination and Eddy\u2019s response to it, as well as the story of the Scottish Covenanters and its significance in her own background. Hall also comments on the legacy and shortcomings of \u201canti-Puritanism\u201d in misrepresenting what it really meant to be a Puritan.<\/p>\n
