Anne Hutchinson was an important member of the Antinomian Controversy that swept through the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the 1630s. She was heavily associated with the popular preacher and orator John Cotton, and together they espoused a different interpretation of mankind’s communion with God. Hutchison argued that individuals could commune with God through the Bible and prayer, without the assistance of the clergy. She called this a “covenant of grace”, as opposed to the practices of the clergy, which she called a “covenant of works”. Due to her popularity, she threatened the religious experiment of the Pilgrims and was tried and exiled. She is credited by many historians with helping advance the cause of religious freedom in early colonial America.
