A documentary about the Puritan view of life, with 6 DVDs plus two books.

Joyless?  Severe?  Fanatical?  It was historian H. L. Mencken who wrote that Puritans were a people “haunted by the fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.”   Is this a valid assessment of the Puritans?

Drawing on extensive research of original writings, Puritan says the truth of the matter is different. Featuring interviews with some of the most celebrated scholars in the field, this extensive documentary takes us from the birth of Puritanism all the way through to its influence in the present day.  It is as beautiful as it is thorough.
