About this title: This book uses the Puritan settlement in 17th-century Massachusetts as a setting in which to examine several ideas about deviant behavior in society. Combining sociology and history, Erikson draws on the records of the Bay Colony to illustrate the way in which deviant behavior fits in the texture of social life generally. The main argument of Wayward Puritans is that deviant forms of behavior are often a valuable resource in society, providing a point of contrast which is necessary for the maintenance of a coherent social order.

"An excellent book for anyone who's interested in the sociology of deviant behavior, since it looks at how deviant behavior isn't static and inherent. A great application of Durkheimian sociology as well."
"Was one of the first books I read during my major in Human Development and Social Relations in college. Began my "paradigm shift" and totally realigned my definition of evil and deviance and its place in society. Recommended for social science or psychology majors or people interested in the social sciences."
"Like others, I read this book for college. Over the years, I have mentioned this book again and again to people in the course of everyday conversation. Erikson's study illustrates that in any group of people, a deviant or outsider group will be established. There is no "normal," no "perfect." It seems to be a human tendency to want to separate rather than unify, and just being aware of that fact is critical to understanding human nature."
"This was a book that I read for one of my classes at Arizona State University. First of all, I found my class extremely fascinating. It was called "Political Deviance and the Law." This book is a study of why the Puritans were the way they were. He goes through the incidences of the Antinomian heretics, Quakers, and witches that showed up in the Puritan society in the 1600's. The author mixes a historical and sociological view to tell the story. It was an easy read and I was gripped through almost every chapter."
