Journal Article
Light Apparitions and the Shaping of Community in Winthrop's \History of New England\
2012
Overview
The godly community Winthrop envisioned was a participatory one formed by the fluid interplay of religious and civic consciousness, one that was necessarily subject to change as the practical needs of the colonial project changed and that was given strength and legitimacy through consent but also through the reconciliation of dissent.2 The use of the light apparitions exercises this participatory act of interpretation through which religious and civic convictions were mutually shaped in response to the colony's uncertain, controversial, and mutable relation to the material world.
