It enriches our understanding of Puritan thought and expression and traces the influence of Puritanismon later American writing. A common link among the writers ofthis period was a system of prophetic symbolism derived from Scripture.The Bible was the source of figuresand types used to illustrate divineguidance in human affairs, and itsprophetic language provided thePuritans with a method for explainingand projecting the course of history.
