Ann M. Little. The Many Captivities of Esther Wheelwright
The Many Captivities of Esther Wheelwright is a welcome contribution to the growing body of literature attempting to narrate the lives of unconventional biographical subjects. Esther Wheelwright shares one feature with the subjects of conventional biographies. She was, as Ann M. Little readily admits, an extraordinary person, for, unlike most eighteenth-century women, she inhabited three distinct but interconnected linguistic and cultural worlds …

Bad Books and Bad Boys
N the spring of 1744, clergyman Jonathan Edwards learned that a number of boys in his parish had Books in keeping, which they improved to promote lascivious and obscene Discourse among the young People. Because the boys were subject to the discipline of the church, Edwards put the matter to the brethren, who appointed a committee to investigate the incident. The committee ultimately secured confessions and promises to reform from several of the a…
The Edwards Revival
The Immaculate Ovum
D URING the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the science of biology was in flux. Both the regular performance of autopsies and the invention of the microscope contributed to a burst of learned attention to the problem of human reproduction.

A…

"Self-Deception as a Theological Problem in Jonathan Edwards's "Treatise Concerning Religious Affections
Like many great theologians, Jonathan Edwards was a polemicist. Although he kept extensive personal notebooks in which he developed his views concerning scripture interpretation and doctrinal theology, in most instances he did not publish these views without the catalyst afforded by theological controversy. Throughout the course of Edwards's ministry Arminianism was his constant foe. In the 1730s he published a number of anti-Arminian sermons and…
The Protestant Evangelical Awakening
The Theology of Cruelty
With the growth of Arminianism in the post-Awakening period, a decisive move away from Puritan orthodoxy occurred in New England. In this article I shall map the contours of this movement, using as my guide a recent work of the political theorist, Judith Shklar. In her book Ordinary Vices , Shklar describes the rise of Enlightenment thought in the West as primarily a shift in value structures. As a result of this shift from the moral universe def…
