Examining the relationship between hooker's activities and his writings, frank shuffelton considers his role in the crises of early new england politics and religion. The author analyzes hooker's works and shows that as preacher and pastor, theologian and architect of the puritan religious community, thomas hooker voiced concerns that remained important throughout american history. The analysis of hooker's career is especially valuable for the information it provides concerning his close involvement with the major issues of the day: the conflict between roger williams and the bay colony; the antinomian controversy; the political and religious striving of the massachusetts bay colony; and the forming of a truly american community.
