"A Community in Chaos" - Puritan Ministers of the Salem Witch Trials

With Halloween fast approaching, what better time to dive into today’s topic - the role of religious ministers in the Salem Witch Trials of Puritan New England. 17th-century New England is a time and place that many find hugely fascinating. Join Dr. Karen Bellinger as she has the privilege of exploring it from a new perspective with our guest, historian and author Isabella Connor. As scary as witches and demons are, it’s the human stuff - the devastating effects of mass hysteria and unchecked wielding of political power - that frightens me the most. So. Let’s hop onto our broomsticks and zoom back to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the winter of 1692! (recorded over zoom)
Music: Danny Elfman
