Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anne Hutchinson specifically challenged the subordinate status of women in religious discussions, arguing that they should have the right to interpret scripture and express their own beliefs. While she did question certain aspects of traditional Puritan theology, such as the idea of predestination, she did not deny the existence of God or reject the need for organized religion altogether. Additionally, while she advocated for greater freedom and agency for women in religious matters, it is unclear if she directly challenged the representation of women in the Bible.
