In this short video, Dr Joe Boot talks about the history of the Puritans and their impact on Christianity. He highlights their engagement with society as "civilisation-builders, not just people seeking the reform of the Church", noting their "faithful application of Scripture to every area of life".

The unique contribution of the Puritans, as Joe sees it, is their "covenantal understanding of our relationship to God and to one another and to apply that to the various spheres of life."
