From 1570 to 1640, Protestantism became the leading moral and intellectual force in England. During these seven decades of rapid social change, the English Protestants were challenged to make 鈥渕orally and spiritually comprehensible鈥 a new pattern of civilization. In numerous sermons and tracts such men as Donne, Hall, Hooker, Laud, and Perkins explored the meaning of man and his society. The nature of the Protestant mind is a crucial question in modern historiography and sociology. Drawing on the writings of these important years, the authors find that the real genius of the Protestant mind was not 鈥淧uritanism,鈥 but the via media, the reconciliation of religious and social tensions. 鈥溾橮uritanism,鈥欌 the authors show, 鈥渋s a word, not a thing.鈥
