The Opening of the Protestant Mind traces a transformation in how English and colonial American Protestants described other religions during a crucial period of English colonization of North America. Mark Valeri shows how a wide range of Protestants began to see other religions not as entirely good or entirely bad, but as complex, and to evaluate them according to their commitment to religious liberty.
