Download or read book Puritanism: A Very Short Introduction written by Francis J. Bremer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-24 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a leading expert on the Puritans, this brief, informative volume offers a wealth of background on this key religious movement. This book traces the shaping, triumph, and decline of the Puritan world, while also examining the role of religion in the shaping of American society and the role of the Puritan legacy in American history. Francis J. Bremer discusses the rise of Puritanism in the English Reformation, the struggle of the reformers to purge what they viewed as the corruptions of Roman Catholicism from the Elizabethan church, and the struggle with the Stuart monarchs that led to a brief Puritan triumph under Oliver Cromwell. It also examines the effort of Puritans who left England to establish a godly kingdom in America. Bremer examines puritan theology, views on family and community, their beliefs about the proper relationship between religion and public life, the limits of toleration, the balance between individual rights and one's obligation to others, and the extent to which public character should be shaped by private religious belief. About the Series: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics. Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam.

Download or read book The Meritorious Price of Our Redemption written by William Pynchon and published by Peter Lang Pub Incorporated. This book was released on 1992 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Meritorious Price of Our Redemption: A Facsimile Edition reproduces William Pynchon's rare 1650 theological treatise about the Atonement. Written in the dialogue genre and deemed heretical by Boston orthodoxy, the book was burned on the city Commons. More than three hundred years later Meritorious Price is transformed in On Preterition, a fictional counterpart that is inscribed in Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow, a landmark in the contemporary American novel. The reworking of the Puritan past in this recent postmodernist novel in part results from Thomas Pynchon's direct descent from his Puritan ancestor, but more than that, it points at important continuities in American literature. Introductory essays by Michael W. Vella, Lance Schachterle, and Louis Mackey explore questions of genealogy, theology, and postmodernism in the presentation of this facsimile edition aimed at scholars and readers of both Pynchons.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When Deborah Wilson walked through the streets of Salem in 1662 'naked as the day she came into the world, ' her intention was to dramatize the 'nakedness' of Puritan religious thinking. She succeeded only in getting herself 'well whipped' and becoming one of the fascinating human illustrations in [this] informing and engrossing study of crime and its punishment in the early days of Colonial Massachusetts. She was indeed fortunate not to have become one of the grimmer statistics of the time--for the Puritans, in their pursuit of 'Godly justice, ' hanged five Quakers on Boston Common. The story of the 'saints' who founded this 'New England Utopia' has often been told. For the first time, here, is the story of the sinners--in all the vivid, sparkling 17th century prose in which the Saints preserved it. It is a particularly important story since the justice they evolved and dispensed in the Plymouth and Bay colonies from 1620 to 1692 profoundly affected many aspects of criminal justice in America. These 'first beginners, ' as they styled themselves, left a lasting imprint on the laws which govern us today ... This scholarly and absorbing study gives the background of the settlement of these two colonies to show the extent of the legal knowledge and experience of the founders. A concise analysis of the legal system they established follows, and then an account of the changes and developments that took place. All aspects of the law--the lawyers, judges, lawmakers, policemen, criminals, courts, jails, and prisons--are fully considered. The forms of punishment and their frequency are examined. The author has compiled valuable tables of the occurrences of different crimes and their penalties. There is also a comprehensive treatment of the relationship of church and state, and of the civil rights and liberties of the colonists ... What makes this work especially useful to the student as well as the general reader are the concluding sections of each chapter. In short historical summaries, the author brings the subject of each chapter up to date. Thus this is history which not only illuminates the past, but also is directly relevant to the problems and concerns of today"--

Download or read book Early New England written by David A. Weir and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of covenant was at the heart of early New England society. In this singular book David Weir explores the origins and development of covenant thought in America by analyzing the town and church documents written and signed by seventeenth-century New Englanders. Unmatched in the breadth of its scope, this study takes into account all of the surviving covenants in all of the New England colonies. Weir's comprehensive survey of seventeenth-century covenants leads to a more complex picture of early New England than what emerges from looking at only a few famous civil covenants like the Mayflower Compact. His work shows covenant theology being transformed into a covenantal vision for society but also reveals the stress and strains on church-state relationships that eventually led to more secularized colonial governments in eighteenth-century New England. He concludes that New England colonial society was much more "English" and much less "American" than has often been thought, and that the New England colonies substantially mirrored religious and social change in Old England.

This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Puritan Age and Rule in the Colony of the Massachusetts Bay, 1629-1685 The Preface of a book is usually that part of it which is the last to be written, and the first to be read. The author makes use of it to supply any possible oversight in his pages in the statement of his purpose, or to anticipate any misapprehension of it. The reader turns to it with a view to find in it a brief and comprehensive exposition of the design of the book, and the reason why it has been written and put forth. A few words here may answer both these intents. The author some half century ago began the reading of our local history in the then most recently published volumes which dealt with it. From these he read back through the many books which had preceded them, till, having favorable opportunities for so doing, he found his way to many of the original and primary sources of it in print and manuscript. It may safely be affirmed that proportionally more pages have been written and put into print concerning the early history of Massachusetts - including the Commonwealth, the municipalities which constitute it, the incidents and events, the men and the institutions identified with it - than those concerning any other like portion of the earth's territory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On fire for God--a sweeping history of puritanism in England and America Begun in the mid-sixteenth century by Protestant nonconformists keen to reform England's church and society while saving their own souls, the puritan movement was a major catalyst in the great cultural changes that transformed the early modern world. Providing a uniquely broad transatlantic perspective, this groundbreaking volume traces puritanism's tumultuous history from its initial attempts to reshape the Church of England to its establishment of godly republics in both England and America and its demise at the end of the seventeenth century. Shedding new light on puritans whose impact was far-reaching as well as on those who left only limited traces behind them, Michael Winship delineates puritanism's triumphs and tribulations and shows how the puritan project of creating reformed churches working closely with intolerant godly governments evolved and broke down over time in response to changing geographical, political, and religious exigencies.
