Summary
In this fascinating account of witches and devils in colonial America, the famous minister of Boston's Old North Church attempts to justify his role in the Salem witch trials. His strange but engrossing book provides readers with guidelines for discovering witches, explanations of how good Christians are tempted by the devil to become the devil's consort, and methods of resisting such temptations. Written by the most famous and influential Puritan writer and scholar, this volume is essential reading for students of the Salem trials and anyone interested in early American social and cultural history. 15 woodcut illustrations. --Publisher.
