For readers interested in early modern England and the Reformation, this book sheds new light on radical Protestant views of reform and godly identity. It significantly revises our understanding of central episodes and issues in the English Reformation, the nature of early English Protestantism and the development of Puritanism.

The Reformation and the encounter between Europe and the Western hemisphere have long been treated as separate events. Lee Palmer Wandel brings the two narratives together, casting a history of human difference, of multiple understandings of Christianity, each shaped by the encounter with unknown worlds.
