Magnalia Christi Americana is a historical book that chronicles the early years of the New England colonies, specifically from their first settlement in 1620 until the year 1698. Written by Cotton Mather, a prominent Puritan minister and scholar, the book provides a detailed account of the religious and social events that shaped the region during this time period. The book is divided into seven different sections, each of which explores a different aspect of New England's ecclesiastical history. These sections cover topics such as the founding of the colonies, the establishment of Puritanism as the dominant religion, the development of the New England Confederation, and the impact of various religious movements on the region. Throughout the book, Mather draws upon a wide range of primary sources, including diaries, letters, and official records, to provide a nuanced and detailed account of New England's history. He also includes numerous biographical sketches of important figures from the period, such as John Winthrop, Roger Williams, and Anne Hutchinson. Overall, Magnalia Christi Americana is a comprehensive and insightful work that provides a unique perspective on the early years of the New England colonies. It remains an important resource for scholars and historians interested in the religious and social history of the United States.Contains Seven Books In Two Volumes.
