In the book “Anne Hutchinson Puritan Prophet,” Timothy D. Hall writes not only a biography of Anne, but also the entire state of Christianity in the end of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th century. The story is about a woman who was not afraid to speak out and express her point of view. The author recounts in depth all the events that happened and how they influenced Anne to become such an important figure in the history of Protestant Christianity. Anne Hutchinson has been influenced by a number of people in her life. The first influence must have been his father. His father, Reverend Marbury, spoke out against many Anglican Church ministers due to their lack of qualifications or corruption. He was sentenced to one year in prison. Anne read many of her father's books, which made her a woman who was not afraid to speak out. Anne was born on July 17, 1591 in Alford, England. She married William Hutchinson and they had 15 children. In 1634, she and her family moved to Boston. One of the determining factors in his move to Boston was the fact that his most admired preacher, John Cotton, had moved to Boston. She felt it was God's will to move to Boston as well. Upon arriving in Boston, she worked as a midwife and healer. She was a member of the church where John Cotton preached. She started her own Bible study group with women, which would later become one of the reasons she was tried in court. Anne is then accused of heresies in the Puritan church. She is accused of antinomianism and familism. She was later convicted and banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony. In the seven short chapters, the author paints the picture of a major dilemma which opposed different religious individuals. As part of the dilemma, the story reveals the influence of Anne Middle of Paper......the Puritans and their development as a denomination. I would say that this book is written for a specific audience. This book would be suitable for someone who wishes to study early 17th century Christian history. This book would also be suitable for someone who wants to know the in-depth version of Anne Hutchinson's biography. I think this specific audience would enjoy this book and could probably use it as a great resource. For someone who simply wants an overall biography of Anne Hutchinson, this book would be overwhelming due to the level of detail involved. This biography not only tells Anne's story, but also explains where she got her ideas and why she became who she was. she was. The author explains Puritan beliefs and the 17th century church in Boston well and expresses them in understanding terms. This makes it a well-written book that you can read with pleasure.
