Christianities in the Trans-Atlantic World, 1500–1800 Series Editors Professor Crawford Gribben, Queen’s University Belfast, UK Dr R. Scott Spurlock, University of Glasgow, UK

Books in the series will work strategically and systematically to address major but understudied or overly simplified themes in the religious and cultural history of the early modern trans-Atlantic.
