"A loosely organized reform movement originating during the English Reformation of the sixteenth century. The name came from efforts to 'purify' the Church of England by those who felt that the Reformation had not yet been completed. Eventually the Puritans went on to attempt purification of the self and of society as well."
(Mark Noll, "Puritanism", Evangelical Dictionary of Theology, 1984)
I know this isn't the appropriate place, but I'm thinking of applying to New College Edinburgh to work with Susan Hardman Moore on Puritan Family Worhsip in Britain and New England.
How many of you on this blog are students at New College? Are any of you working with her? What do you think of NC as a place to do PhD work? How many of you are Americans that moved there for school? How's funding at NC? I'm interested in your reflections. If you'd like to, please email me: andrewrstager@yahoo.com
Because our university would rather not affiliate itself with any blogs, we're better off not telling you HERE where we're all enrolled, but I will see that your comment gets emailed to all the contributors, and they can respond as they 'feel led'. :-). Some may have already.
"All those nick-names of Puritan, Precisian, Hypocrite, &c. with which lewd tongues are wont to load the saints of God, are so many honourable badges of their worthy deportment in the holy path, and resolute standing on the Lord's side."
Robert Bolton (1572-1631)

Hey Andy,
Because our university would rather not affiliate itself with any blogs, we're better off not telling you HERE where we're all enrolled, but I will see that your comment gets emailed to all the contributors, and they can respond as they 'feel led'.

Thanks for your interest!
