Just about anything that existed or was created during that time period can count as a primary source — a speech, census records, a newspaper, a letter, a diary entry, a song, a painting, a photograph, a film, an article of clothing, a building, a landscape, etc. Primary sources are documents, objects, and other sources that provide us with a first-hand account of what life was like in the past. Of course you could learn about the past by reading your textbook or the conclusions of other historians but when you read a secondary source, you are essentially taking someone else’s word for what happened and trusting them to approach the subject objectively. But you can never know whether what that other person wrote about the past is valid, accurate, or thoughtful unless you’ve explored the evidence for yourself. In short, primary sources allow you to be your own historical detective, piecing together the puzzle of the past by using materials created by the people who lived it. 1. IDENTIFY

We travel north of the border to study that understated contribution to Scottish Congregationalism, the Evangelical Union, explicitly through its academy. Lastly, like many others in 2011, we turn aside to mark the 400th anniversary of the King James Version of the Bible. In this magazine, our examination of this Jacobean masterpiece involves a consideration of its origins, amid the demands for further reform of the established church, and the growth of those forerunners of Congregationalism, the English separatists. NEWS AND VIEWS We were saddened to learn of the death of John Taylor, for many years the editor of the Transactions of the Congregational Historical Society and, after 1972, of its successor and our sister journal, the Journal of the United Reformed Church History Society .

  • The King James Bible
    Chap. iiii. The Coming Forth of the King James Bible Lincoln H. Blumell and David M. Whitchurch hen Queen Elizabeth I died on March 24, 1603, she left behind a nation rife with religious tensions.1 The queen had managed to govern for a lengthy period of almost half a century, during which time England had become a genuine international power, in part due to the stabil- ity Elizabeth’s reign afforded. YetE lizabeth’s preference for Protestantism over Catholicism frequently put her and her country in a very precarious situation.2 She had come to power in November 1558 in the aftermath of the disastrous rule of Mary I, who had sought to repair the relation- ship with Rome that her father, King Henry VIII, had effectively severed with his founding of the Church of England in 1532. As part of Mary’s pro-Catholic policies, she initiated a series of persecutions against various Protestants and other notable religious reformers in England that cumu- latively resulted in the deaths of about three hundred individuals, which subsequently earned her the nickname “Bloody Mary.”3 John Rogers, friend of William Tyndale and publisher of the Thomas Matthew Bible, was the first of her victims. For the most part, Elizabeth was able to maintain re- ligious stability for much of her reign through a couple of compromises that offered something to both Protestants and Catholics alike, or so she thought.4 However, notwithstanding her best efforts, she could not satisfy both groups. Toward the end of her life, with the emergence of Puritanism, there was a growing sense among select quarters of Protestant society Lincoln H.

    Issue 41: The American Puritans The American Puritans: Did You Know? Little-known or remarkable facts about the American Puritans Cassandra Niemczyk is an independent scholar who contributed to The Variety of American Evangelicalism (Tennessee, 1991). Critic H. L. Mencken once said, wrongly, “Puritanism is the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.” On the contrary, Puritans read good books and enjoyed music. They drank beer with meals and rum at weddings. Puritans swam and skated, hunted and fished, and played at archery and bowling (as long as the games were not in a public tavern or on Sunday). The famous “Pilgrims,” who landed at Plymouth Rock in 1620, were so radical they were usually disliked and sometimes hated. Unlike most Puritans, they did not seek to reform the Church of England; they thought the church was beyond help. Most weddings in New England were performed not by ministers but by magistrates. Wedding rings, seen as “popish,” were not used. The early settlers of Massachusetts included more than 100 graduates of Oxford and Cambridge. One historian termed Massachusetts “the best-educated community the world has ever known.” In Puritan worship, a prayer could last an hour or more; a sermon, two hours. In a lifetime, a Puritan might hear 15,000 hours of preaching. Within only six years of their arrival, while still trying to hew out an existence, the Puritans founded a religious college named Harvard. Puritans wanted highly educated ministers, not “Dumme Doggs,” as they called less-trained examples. New England residents who failed to attend worship services on Sunday morning and afternoon were fined or put into stocks.

  • The Sunday Service of the Methodists in North America, Which Was Transported in Loose-Leaf Form So As to Avoid the Duty for Bound Books
    Methodist History, 34:4 (July 1996) "JOHN WESLEY'S PRAYER BOOK REVISION: THE TEXT IN CONTEXT KAREN B. WESTERFIELD TUCKER When, in 1784, Richard Whatcoat, Thomas Vasey, and Dr. Thomas Coke set sail for America, they were accompanied by John Wesley's liturgical legacy, a revision of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer entitled The Sunday Service of the Methodists in North America, which was transported in loose-leaf form so as to avoid the duty for bound books. Mr. Wesley is virtually silent about the process by which he prepared this liturgical book for the Methodist people. Although it is possible that his active engagement with the revision of the Prayer Book was COJ}fined to the year 1784, it is clear that his liturgical work was anticipated by a life­ time of pastoral experience, of studying ancient writers and the ritual texts of antiquity then available, of scrutinizing the liturgy of the Church of England which he believed was unsurpassed in "solid, scriptural, rational Piety,'' 1 and of engagement with the liturgical issues and debates of his own day. The construction of the Sunday Service is best understood by placing it within a double framework. The first context is the Methodist move­ ment itself, wherein we find the approval but also a critique of the Prayer Book voiced by John Wesley and other Methodists. The second is the broader liturgical climate of England during the 17th and 18th centuries. Controversies that had surrounded the Prayer Book since its creation by Thomas Cranmer in 1549 persisted in Wesley's day and new liturgical ques­ tions arose in conjunction with the theological debates that ensued from the Enlightenment.

This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmlr THE BACKGROUND OF THE FIFTH AMENDMENT IN ENGLISH LAW: A STUDY OF ITS HISTORICAL IMPLICATIONS JOHN A. KEMP* The history of the privilege against self-incrimination is as- sociated with a revolution; in the beginning a revolution against a religion, in the end a revolution against a state. In its earliest stages it was part of a contest between Protestant Anglicans and Protestant Calvinists, between a Protestant Crown and a Protes- tant Parliament. The privilege is a part of our modem law today because England became Anglican in the sixteenth century and because for the Calvinists that was not Protestant enough. The roots of the Fifth Amendment in English law lie in a very confusing period of legal history. The late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries saw the introduction of certain legal procedures which grew out of the prerogative of the Crown and ran counter to the tradition of the customary law.

  • Discourses of Religious Change in England, C. 1414 – 1688
    THE SEMANTICS OF REFORMATION: DISCOURSES OF RELIGIOUS CHANGE IN ENGLAND, C. 1414 – 1688 By [Copyright 2016] Benjamin Michael Guyer Submitted to the graduate degree program in History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson: Jonathan Clark ________________________________ Luis Corteguera ________________________________ Katherine Clark ________________________________ Steven Epstein ________________________________ Geraldo Sousa Date Defended: March 07, 2016 The Dissertation Committee for Benjamin Michael Guyer certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: THE SEMANTICS OF REFORMATION: DISCOURSES OF RELIGIOUS CHANGE IN ENGLAND, C. 1414 – 1688 ________________________________ Chairperson: Jonathan Clark Date approved: March 07, 2016 ii Abstract The Semantics of Reformation: Discourses of Religious Change in England, c. 1414 – 1688 examines how the events of the sixteenth century were conceptualized as the English Reformation. The word ‘reformation’ was widely used during these centuries, but its meaning changed in significant ways. By adopting a linguistic methodology, the dissertation studies reformation as a concept in motion; consequently, the English Reformation, a term widely used today, is treated not as an analytic category but as a historiographical label that developed contingently. The chapters fall into three roughly equal sections, each of which covers a distinct discourse of reformation. Chapters one and two cover the first discourse, which identified reformation as the work of a church council. This discourse began at the Council of Constance (1414 – 1418) and remained firmly in place in all Christian localities through the mid-sixteenth century, when it was challenged by a new discourse: reformation by armed resistance, which is introduced at the end of chapter two and discussed in chapters three and four.
