    Tlte American Republic. 135 ART I C LEV Ill. THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC AND THE DEBS INSURRECTION. BY MR. Z. SWIFT HOLBROOK. THE American Republic is the fruitage of a religious inspiration. Our democratic institutions, ollr notions of lib­ erty and equality, had their origin with men who practised every form of self-denial, that they might be free from hie­ rarchical authority and worship God according to the dic­ tates of conscience. They were not men, like the colony that landed at Jamestown in 1607, moved by the spirit of adventure or by the desire to acquire,-both worthy and useful passions when subordinated to higher ends,-but they came to an unknown land, braving the perils of the sea and enduring the privations incident to such a perilous journey, that they might have freedom to worship God. To what extent these men had caught the inspiration of Luther and had given it a new interpretation, need not here be traced; but the age was one of discovery, of hero­ ism, of adventure, of awakened intellect,-giving the world the revival of faith, hope, and learning. It was the Eliza­ bethan Age in literature. It was the period of the centuries when, freed from the bonds of ecclesiastical authority, indi­ vidualism burst the barriers which had restrained it, and men took on new conceptions of liberty and of individual worth. Man as an individual, a unit, free and independent in his re­ lations to the unseen, and bound by social compacts only because thus his individualism found higher freedom and fuller .development,-this was the conception that inspired [Jan.

  • Sederi VIII (1997) NEW ENGLAND PURITANS: ‘THE LORD’S Free PEOPLE’ 77 the Puritan Need of Liberty
    New England Puritans: “the Lord’s FREE People” Susana M. Jiménez Placer UNIVERSIDAD DE SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA The relationship between Puritanism and the concept of liberty has been controversial since the very origin of this religious sect in the XVIth. century. The Puritan defence of the dignity of the individual contributed to the dissolution of the feudal system in Great Britain and constituted one of the basic pillars in the development of capitalistic and parliamentary systems: during the 17th. century the growing middle-class saw the basis for a new social and political order in this doctrine that proposed the “integral sanctification of ordinary life” (Taylor 221) and labour as the only means to serve God and obey his calling. But the Puritan sect was not homogeneous: the main branch within this religious group was constituted by Presbyterian Puritans, who defended the model of a “comprehensive, national but Calvinistic church tightly disciplined from the centre” (Brogan 44), with membership enforced by the state and ruled by “a hierarchy of governing bodies, from the national assembly down through the regional classis to the presbytery of the parish church, consisting of the minister and elders” (Miller 2). The existence of clear disagreements concerning church organization among Puritans became evident in the 17th. century: some followers of the Puritan ideal proposed a congregational1 model based on a free covenant with God. According to their model each church was particular and each congregation had the power to choose -more or less democratically- their ministers and elders. Membership was voluntary: only those willing to enter into the covenant with God could become members of the congregation.

  • Samuell Gorton Influenced the Development of Quakerism, Or Whether Instead Quakerism Influenced the Development of Gortonism
    SAMUEL GORTON Recently there has been on the internet an influence argument having to do with whether in the 17th Century Samuell Gorton influenced the development of Quakerism, or whether instead Quakerism influenced the development of Gortonism. This argument has evidently been mounted by proud descendants of Gorton and facilitated by genealogists. To track this, you can consider the following three articles: PERUSE A 1934 STUDY PERUSE A 1979 STUDY PERUSE A 1983 STUDY I do not myself find anything which would indicate that Samuell Gorton had any influence whatever over the development of Quakerism. Indeed, the impression which I bring away from this reading is that Mr. Gorton of Warwick, Rhode Island was your usual sort of fundie panjandrum preacherman (a phenomenon with which we of the 21st Century are even now all too familiar), establishing his own little church with his own little flock as the venue within which he might play the role of Supreme Pontiff, as a sort of personality cult: “I listen to the Inward Christ, while you listen to me.” This man was a Reverend Jim Jones character if he was anything — “You need to drink this grape Kool-Aid.” It would amaze me to discover that any Quakers of the 17th Century were interested in reducing themselves to being merely such a man’s camp followers. It would seem to me that it is one of the foundation stones of Quakerism, that we do not embrace such religious leadership — that this is a grape Kool- Aid which we always decline. (Of course, I also consider that it was rather wrongheaded for the Puritans to come down into Rhode Island and arrest him and keep him in leg shackles in Charlestown, and come within a skosh of hanging him.

Christianity of Conscience: Religion Over Politics in the Williams-Cotton Debate Abstract This research project examines Roger Williams’s representation of the relationship between church and state as demonstrated in his controversy with the Massachusetts Bay Puritans, specifically in his pamphlet war with Boston minister John Cotton. Maintaining an emphasis on primary research, the essay explores Williams’s and Cotton’s writings on church-state relations and seeks to provide contextual analysis in light of religious, social, economic, and political influences. In addition, this essay briefly discusses well-known historiographical interpretations of Williams’ position and of his significance ot American religious and political thought, seeking to establish a synthesis of the evidence surrounding the debate and a clearer understanding of relevant historiography in order to demonstrate the unarguably Christian motivations for Williams’s advocacy of Separatism.

  • The Antinomian Controversy and the Puritan Vision: a Historical Perspective on Christian Leadership by Jeffrey M
    Ashland Theological Journal 35 (2003) The Antinomian Controversy and the Puritan Vision: A Historical Perspective on Christian Leadership by Jeffrey M. Kahl* Introduction The American Puritans are perhaps the most interesting, the most complex, and even the most misunderstood players in the fascinating saga called American History. Radical skeptics such as Perry Miller and William McLoughlin, as well as committed Christians such as H. Richard Niebuhr and J. I. Packer, have credited the Puritans with establishing the foundations of America's intellectual and cultural life. Undoubtedly this is the reason why the Puritans have merited the scholarly attention (on a much grander scale than other American colonial groups) not only of theologians and historians, but sociologists, psychologists, economists, literary critics, rhetoricians, artists, and others. It has been nearly four hundred years since they set foot on American soil, and information surrounding these colonists continues to attract the curiosity of scholars and laypersons alike. The Antinomian controversy of 1637 has elicited special attention as a crucial event in early American history, and researchers bringing different presuppositions and perspectives to the task have yielded different interpretations of the actual events surrounding the controversy. Writers such as Anne F. Withington, Jack Schwartz, and Richard B. Morris have concluded that the proceedings against Anne Hutchinson could rightly be characterized as a "show trial" and that the Puritan elders were more interested

JOHN COTTON'S MIDDLE WAY A THESIS presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History The University of Mississippi by GARY A. ROWLAND August 2011 Copyright Gary A. Rowland 2011 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Historians are divided concerning the ecclesiological thought of seventeenth-century minister John Cotton. Some argue that he supported a church structure based on suppression of lay rights in favor of the clergy, strengthening of synods above the authority of congregations, and increasingly narrow church membership requirements. By contrast, others arrive at virtually opposite conclusions. This thesis evaluates Cotton's correspondence and pamphlets through the lense of moderation to trace the evolution of Cotton's thought on these ecclesiological issues during his ministry in England and Massachusetts. Moderation is discussed in terms of compromise and the abatement of severity in the context of ecclesiastical toleration, the balance between lay and clerical power, and the extent of congregational and synodal authority.

    195 Chapter IV Attitudes to Pastoral Work in England. c. 1560-1640. The career structure and material rewards outlined in the preceding chapters are the aspects of the parish ministry which left records obviously capable of analysis and even of measure- ment. No doubt they Shaped the lives and attitudes of the clergy. To see the parish clergy only in these terms, however, is to exclude the pastorate itself, the service which justified the continuance in a Protestant community of a separate order of church officers. Naturally enough the English clergy of the later 16th and early 17th centuries commonly held that theirs was both an honourable and an arduous office, by virtue of the ministry which they performed. The two went together, according to George Downame. "The honour and charge as they be inseperable, so also proportionable; for such as is the weight of the Burden, such is the height of the Honour; and contrariwise." 1 Before the burden and honour are examined as they appeared in the work of the Durham clergy, it would be helpful to know by what standards their efforts were judged. What expectations did clergy and laity entertain of the personal and professional conduct of the pastor? i. Contemporary writing on the pastorate.

NATURAL LAW AND COVENANT THEOLOGY IN NEW ENGLAND, 1620-1670* John D. Eusden ADDICTION TO STEREOTYPES has often prevailed over insight and research in studies of Puritan political life. Many investigators have described the early New England communities as "Bible commonwealths," theocracies, or would- be kingdoms of righteousness. These terms are partly true, but they tend to obscure the profundity of Puritan political philosophy by accentuation of biblicism, rigid morality, and the role of the clergy. The purpose of this essay is, first, to show that early New England leaders were as receptive to arguments drawn from nature and reason as they were to those from the Pentateuch and a moral code. The thesis offered is that the Puritans used natural law categories, understood in their own way, and that, although they were essentially products of the seventeenth century, they partly anticipated the political thought of the eighteenth. Secondly, it is hoped that this study of natural law among a Protestant group will help to probe the relationship between the faith which is rooted in Rome and that which stems from the Reformation.
