Antinomianism, the belief that under the gospel dispensation of grace, the moral law is of no use, was notably associated with Anne Hutchinson in the 17th century. She was a Puritan spiritual leader in colonial Massachusetts who challenged the established religious authorities, leading to her trial and subsequent banishment in 1638. Hutchinson's views were seen as a threat to the Puritan orthodoxy, resulting in her denouncement for promoting beliefs that contradicted the prevailing interpretations of scripture.
