A Testimony from the Scripture Against Idolatry and Superstition

by Samuel Mather

This powerful 17th-century treatise offers a rigorous defense of Puritan worship and the principle of Sola Scriptura. Delving into the theological tensions of the era, the work provides a scathing critique of religious ceremonies and "human inventions" deemed superstitious or idolatrous. It serves as a vital historical document for understanding Nonconformist dissent and the pursuit of liturgical purity. For scholars of Reformation history and early American divinity, this text provides essential insights into the ideological foundations of New England’s ecclesiastical identity and the enduring struggle against perceived corruption.
