Book Synopsis Puritan's Empire by : Charles A. Coulombe
Download or read book Puritan's Empire written by Charles A. Coulombe and published by . This book was released on 2008-09 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History is the key to understanding men-whether as nations, families, or individuals. For Catholics, history has an even higher purpose beside. For them, history is the unfolding of God's Will in time, and the attempts of men either to conform themselves to or to resist that Will. But American Catholic historians have generally refrained from exploring their own national history with these principles, preferring instead to adopt the analysis of their non-Catholic colleagues, save when looking at purely Catholic topics (and sometimes not then). It is vital then, for Catholics, especially young Catholics, to have a good and proper understanding of their country's history. To exercise their patriotism, they must work for the conversion of the United States; to do this effectively, they must understand the forces and events which brought forth not only the religion of Americanism and the country itself, but also the sort of Catholicism which, in 300 years, failed so dismally to bring this conversion about. This book attempts to reinterpret the better known episodes of our history in accordance with the Faith, and to point up lesser-known details which will give factual proof of the truth of this reinterpretation.

Book Synopsis Puritans, the Millennium and the Future of Israel by : Peter Toon
Download or read book Puritans, the Millennium and the Future of Israel written by Peter Toon and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2002-09-16 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of essays by several scholars, this book is an important study of the origins of post- and pre-millennialism in English theology. Initially, it is shown how the early Lutherans or reformers of the sixteenth century adopted the traditional Augustinian eschatology, a doctrine concerned with the end of the world or of humankind. It analyses how Luther paved the way for the interpretation of revelation not as heralding an apocalypse, but as an important historical and political event. For many Puritans this meant the collapse of the Papacy, the restoration of the Jews, and the dawn of a period of glory for the Church. This book traces the hopes and fears of Christians presented with the prophesised apocalypse, which was at this time felt to be imminent. It discusses the manner in which dogma was adapted to suit the interpretations of each religious sect, and the impact which historical events such as the thirty years war, exerted on these theologians. This is a clear discussion on the important elements of millennialism, and is particularly interesting set in the context of comparing these deeply religious views with our own modern thoughts upon entering a new millennium.

Book Synopsis Imaginary Empires by : Maria O'Malley
Download or read book Imaginary Empires written by Maria O'Malley and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2022-12-07 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Imaginary Empires, Maria O’Malley examines early American texts published between 1767 and 1867 whose narratives represent women’s engagement in the formation of empire. Her analysis unearths a variety of responses to contact, exchange, and cohabitation in the early United States, stressing the possibilities inherent in the literary to foster participation, resignification, and rapprochement. New readings of The Female American, Leonora Sansay’s Secret History, Catharine Maria Sedgwick’s Hope Leslie, Lydia Maria Child’s A Romance of the Republic, and Harriet Jacobs’s Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl confound the metaphors of ghosts, haunting, and amnesia that proliferate in many recent studies of early US literary history. Instead, as O’Malley shows, these writings foreground acts of foundational violence involved in the militarization of domestic spaces, the legal impediments to the transfer of property and wealth, and the geopolitical standing of the United States. Racialized and gendered figures in the texts refuse to die, leave, or stay silent. In imagining different kinds of futures, these writers reckon with the ambivalent role of women in empire-building as they negotiate between their own subordinate position in society and their exertion of sovereignty over others. By tracing a thread of virtual history found in works by women, Imaginary Empires explores how reflections of the past offer a means of shaping future sociopolitical formations.

Book Synopsis The Puritan Cosmopolis by : Nan Goodman
Download or read book The Puritan Cosmopolis written by Nan Goodman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-02-14 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Puritan Cosmopolis traces a sense of kinship that emerged from within the larger realm of Puritan law and literature in late seventeenth-century New England. Nan Goodman argues that these early modern Puritans-connected to the cosmopolis in part through travel, trade, and politics-were also thinking in terms that went beyond feeling affiliated with people in remote places, or what cosmopolitan theorists call "attachment at a distance." In this way Puritan writers and readers were not simply learning about others, but also cultivating an awareness of themselves as ethically related to people all around the world. Such thought experiments originated and advanced through the law, specifically the law of nations, a precursor to international law and an inspiration for much of the imagination and literary expression of cosmopolitanism among the Puritans. The Puritan Cosmopolis shows that by internalizing the legal theories that pertained to the world writ large, the Puritans were able to experiment with concepts of extended obligation, re-conceptualize war, contemplate new ways of cultivating peace, and rewrite the very meaning of Puritan living. Through a detailed consideration of Puritan legal thought, Goodman provides an unexpected link between the Puritans, Jews, and Ottomans in the early modern world and reveals how the Puritan legal and literary past relates to present concerns about globalism and cosmopolitanism.
Book Synopsis Revolutionary Empire by : Angus Calder
Download or read book Revolutionary Empire written by Angus Calder and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revolutionary Empire describes the events which have transformed life everywhere in the world-the political revolutions of England and Scotland in the Seventeenth century, the `democratic revolution'which began with the revolt of the thirteen colonies, then found expression in Europe, and the `industrial revolution' simultaneously occurring in Britain. At the point where this volume ends, Britain was ready to dominmate world affair through its naval might and its manufacturing prowess. Angus Calder has constructed a narrative which sets familiar episodes in fresh light. Generation by generation, he interweaves English, Irish, scottish and colonial events into a single pattern. He concerns himself with social and intellectual history as well as with political and economic developments. Ralegh still sails for El Dorado, Pitt still declaims in the Commons, Clive`s feat at Plassey is still judged remarkable. But this story also includes James Vl attempting to colonise the Hebrides, Captain Tom Philips trading for slaves at Whydah, and Cudjoe leading his black guerrilas in Jamaica.
