When Hutchinson began to express increasingly liberal ideas in her lectures, expounding upon the sermons of Puritan minister John Cotton, and then began to emphasize the individual’s need to rely on his or her own inner light for appropriate spiritual guidance in the Christian life, Winthrop stepped in. Not only could this new society not tolerate such heretical ideas, he could not allow the authority of the ruling theocracy to be usurped. Significantly, as a woman speaking in public on such topics, Hutchinson was even more of a threat to the underlying patriarchy as well. The ensuing Antinomian Controversy, which raged from 1636 through 1638, condemned Hutchinson, her family, and many of her followers as heretics and resulted in many of these colonists’ persecution and eventual excommunication from the established church, as well as their banishment from the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
