"Bible Commonwealth" was some of the religious leaders' large influence. It powerfully influenced admission to church membership by conducting public interrogations of people claiming to have experienced conversation.
-Bible commonwealth refers to a theocratic political economy (meaning, even in government, a deity was believed in and was a guiding force). We saw Bible commonwealth in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
-MBC was founded by moderate Puritans. Know that Puritans believed in only "God's elect" could go to heaven, no exceptions. The only way for a Puritan to know he was one of the "elect" was if he had experienced "conversion". Conversion refers to a person's experience where God reveals to him that he is destined for heaven.
-The Puritan presence in MBC lead to the creation of The Bible commonwealth, meaning their laws were made based on the Bible and only adult male, church-going Puritans could vote in provincial elections. But church membership was only for Puritans who had experienced conversion--religious leaders had public interrogations with people to confirm this.
-So basically, when you think "Bible commonwealth", think large religious influence in government. (However, please note that in MBC there was a small separation between state and religion.)

How did the Bible commonwealth contribute to Salem Witch trials?
By simple definition, a Bible commonwealth is, at its core, influenced to extremes by religion in its economy, politics and society. It is much easier for fear of a Biblically taught threat, ie witchcraft, to spread in a region so deeply controlled by its religious beliefs. That fear is what allowed the trials to reach the scale that they did in Salem.
