Minicast: Were the Puritans Superstitious?
from The Puritan Pulpit · host Nick Reddin
Forget the "witch-hunter" caricatures. For the Puritans, the real danger wasn't just spirits, it was superstition, a "will-worship" that traded biblical truth for human fear. This episode of The Puritan Pulpit explores how these rigorous thinkers used the Doctrine of Providence to stabilize a supernatural world. Join Nick Reddin as he dives into William Perkins’ war on "white magic" and the moment Increase Mather’s biblical logic finally silenced the gallows at Salem. Stop looking at the myths and start looking at the Word.
