Johnson's Wonder-Working Providence is a book written by Edward Johnson in 1910. The book is a historical account of the early colonization of New England, specifically Massachusetts, from 1628 to 1651.

The first part is a general history of the colonization of New England, including the arrival of the Pilgrims, the establishment of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and the conflicts with the Native American tribes. The second part of the book focuses on the religious history of the colony, including the establishment of churches and the role of religion in daily life.One of the main themes of the book is the idea of providence, or the belief that God is actively involved in the affairs of humans. Johnson argues that the success of the New England colonies was due to God's providence, and he provides many examples of miraculous events that he believes demonstrate this.Overall, Johnson's Wonder-Working Providence is an important historical document that provides a unique perspective on the early colonization of New England.
