Puritan politician, lawyer, and lay theologian John Winthrop fled England  in 1630 when it looked like Charles I had successfully blocked all hopes of passing Puritan-inspired reforms in Parliament. Leading a migration, he came to New England in the hopes of creating an ideal Puritan community and eventually became the governor of Massachusetts. Winthrop is remembered for his role in the Puritan migration to the colonies and for delivering what is probably the most famous lay sermon in American history, "A Model of Christian Charity." In it he proclaimed that New England would be "a city upon a hill"--an example for future colonies. InJohn Winthrop: Founding the City upon a Hill,Michael Parker examines the political and religious history of this iconic  figure. In this short biography, bolstered by letters, sermons, and maps,John Winthropintroduces students to the colonial world, the Pequot Wars, and the history of American Exceptionalism.
