Abstract

In the small town of Groton, Massachusetts, witchhunters were at work twenty years before their heyday in Salem. But their work lacked the reverberating character that shook the Bay Colony two decades later, owing, in great part, to the young shepherd of the flock in the frontier village , Samuel Willard. By his participation in this first encounter with the invisible world, Mr. Willard set a pattern that he would maintain through his life. He grappled with the problem from his characteristic reasoned theological premises, and based his conclusions in light of a reasoned theological perspective.
