The Puritan Ordeal
Author: Andrew Delbanco
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 9780674740563
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
This book is about the experience of becoming American in the seventeenth century. It has in some respects the appearance of a study in intellectual history, but I prefer to think of it as a contribution to the history of what the Puritans called affections. My hope is to help advance our understanding not of ideas so much as of feeling-specifically of the affective life of some of the men and women who emigrated to New England more than three hundred fifty years ago, but also of the persistent sense of renewal and risk that has attended the project of becoming American ever since.

The Puritan Ideology of Mobility
Author: Scott McDermott
Publisher: Anthem Press
ISBN: 1785274732
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
The Puritan Ideology of Mobility: Corporatism, the Politics of Place, and the Founding of New England Towns before 1650 examines the ideology that English Puritans developed to justify migration: their migration from England to New England, migrations from one town to another within New England, and, often, their repatriation to the mother country. Puritan leaders believed firmly that nations, colonies, and towns were all “bodies politic,” that is, living and organic social bodies. However, if a social body became distempered because of scarce resources or political or religious discord, it became necessary to create a new social body from the old in order to restore balance and harmony. The new social body was articulated through the social ritual of land distribution according to Aristotelian “distributive justice.” The book will trace this process at work in the founding of Ipswich and its satellite town in Massachusetts.

The Puritan View of Substantive Biblical Law
Author: George J. Gatgounis
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1725261197
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
The Puritans, who settled in America in the early 1600s, believed that if they followed God’s laws as individuals and as a society, God would prosper them. America would become “the new Israel,” God’s light for the rest of the world. The Rev. Dr. George Gatgounis wrote The Puritan View of Substantive Biblical Law both as a constitutional attorney and a biblical scholar. He did much of the research at Harvard, which was founded by the Puritans to train their clergy. Despite its outward appearance of harshness—such as the dozen transgressions that merited the death penalty in the Massachusetts Bay Colony—Puritan society was founded on the consent of the citizens. At the center was individual spirituality. That spirituality was to be maintained by a strict observance of the Sabbath, which centered around biblical preaching. Certainly there is no going back to a Puritan society in this postmodern era. But perhaps there is something to be learned to guide our way forward.
