Recensioner i media

“Most seventeenth-century Massachusetts churches required that prospective members tell the church convincingly of the working of God’s grace in them. Few of these conversion narratives have survived … . Records of Trials is an adventurous revisionist exploration of those Cambridge narratives.” (Michael P. Winship, Church History, Vol. 92 (4), December, 2023)
