{"product_id":"9780802872111","title":"First American Evangelical","description":"\u003cp\u003eCotton Mather (1663-1728) was America's most famous pastor  and scholar at the beginning of the eighteenth century. People  today generally associate him with the infamous Salem witch  trials, but that picture has mostly come down to us from one  unreliable, antagonistic source.   This biography by Rick Kennedy, based largely on new research  by an international team of scholars, corrects misconceptions  of Cotton Mather and focuses on the way he tried to promote,  socially and intellectually, a biblical lifestyle. As older Puritan  hopes in New England were giving way to a broader and shallower  Protestantism, Mather led a populist, Bible-oriented  movement that embraced the new century -- the beginning  of a dynamic evangelical tradition that eventually became a  major force in American culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EERDMANS TRADE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47673639305268,"sku":"9780802872111","price":28.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9390\/2132\/files\/9780802872111.jpg?v=1776380012","url":"https:\/\/woodslane.com.au\/products\/9780802872111","provider":"Woodslane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
