English Protestantism provided a vocabulary and structure to describe and maintain boundaries between insider and outsider. In this path-breaking study, Heather Miyano Kopelson peels back the layers of conflicting definitions of bodies and competing practices of faith in the Puritan Atlantic, demonstrating how the categories of 'white,' 'black,' and 'Indian' developed alongside religious boundaries between 'Christian' and 'heathen' and between 'Catholic' and 'Protestant.' Faithful Bodies focuses on three communities of Protestant dissent in the Atlantic World: Bermuda, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. In this 'Puritan Atlantic,' religion determined insider and outsider status: at times Africans and Natives could belong as long as they embraced the Protestant faith, while Irish Catholics and English Quakers remained suspect. Colonists' interactions with indigenous peoples of the Americas and with West Central Africans shaped their understandings of human difference and its acceptable boundaries. Prayer, religious instruction, sexual behavior, and other public and private acts became markers of whether or not Blacks and Indians were sinning Christians or godless heathens. As slavery became law, transgressing people of color counted less and less as sinners in English Puritans' eyes, even as some of them made Christianity an integral part of their communities. As Kopelson shows, this transformation proceeded unevenly but inexorably during the long seventeenth century"-- |cProvided by publisher. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web 650 0 Puritans |zAmerica |xHistory |y17th century.. |=^A28988 650 0 Protestantism |xSocial aspects |zAmerica |xHistory |y17th century. |=^A33194 650 0 Ethnicity |zAmerica |xReligious aspects |xHistory |y17th century. |=^A2131 650 7 HISTORY / United States / Colonial Period (1600-1775). |2bisacsh 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE / Discrimination & Race Relations. |2bisacsh 650 7 RELIGION / Christian Life / General. |2bisacsh 651 0 Massachusetts |xRace relations |xReligious aspects |xHistory |y17th century. |=^A41929 651 0 Rhode Island |xRace relations |xReligious aspects |xHistory |y17th century. |=^A52446 651 0 Bermuda Islands |xRace relations |xReligious aspects |xHistory |y17th century. |=^A100543 651 0 Great Britain |xColonies |zAmerica |xHistory |y17th century. |=^A235855 651 0 Massachusetts |xHistory |yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775. |=^A312102 651 0 Rhode Island |xHistory |yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775. |=^A311028 651 0 Bermuda Islands |xHistory |y17th century. |=^A100543 655 0 Electronic books. |=^A491897 856 40 |zFull text available from Ebook Central - Academic Complete |uhttps://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/eastcarolina/detail.action?docID=1747366 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hJOYNER188 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hHSL77 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hJMUSIC60 596 1 3 4 998 5645965
