Abstract
Scholarly readings of seventeenth-century New England conversion narratives often miss the signs of regeneration that were very clear to contemporary church audiences. This article contains close readings of narratives from Thomas Shepard's Newtown church to bring out those signs and to restore the role of a godly audience to the process of gaining church membership.
