    Summary Of Chastized By Scorpions By Maura Jane Farrelly

    Religious freedom was something America struggled to completely achieve for many years. Historians have written articles that explain why it was so hard to achieve religious freedom in America in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. One of the historians was Maura Jane Farrelly, who wrote the article “American Slavery, American Freedom, American Catholicism”. In Farrelly article, she “ explores the relationship between American slavery and American Catholicism”(Farrelly, 69). Another historian would be Charles H. Lippy who wrote “Chastized by Scorpions: Christianity and Culture in Colonial South Carolina, 169-1740”. In Lippy’s article, he writes about “religious diversity and religious tolerance and how it extended to Trinitarian Christians”(Lippy, 270). Farrelly’s article was very clear and also used many primary and secondary sources, while Lippy’s article also used many sources it was not very clear and had me confused a couple of times. Which is why I would recommend Farrelly’s article instead of Lippy’s to students who are taking History-131.…

    What Role Did Puritans Play In Shaping American Culture

    From the pre-Columbian times to the Civil War, America has changed greatly over time, especially from a cultural standpoint. Cosmology, the Puritans and the Great Awakening all played key roles in shaping the American religious culture from portraying the physical things around them as their God and the Big Bang Theory creating the universe to having one God in heaven creating it. Cosmology was very popular in the pre-Columbian era. Jose de Acost was the one who came up with the theory that the settlers came from Asia across Beringia as early as 30,000 BCF, which may have been significant to cosmology’s origins (PP A Continent of Villages, Slide 12). In the beginning, the Pawnee believed in cosmology deeply.…

    The Antebellum Period And The Second Great Awakening

    Although there were some similarities between the Antebellum Period and the mid 20th century in terms of the impact of religion, there were also some differences. One difference was that during the Antebellum period, in the Second Great Awakening, people didn’t challenge Christianity, rather they challenged how God was viewed in relationship to his worshippers (essentially the view was that individuals had a direct relationship with God that was unmediated by a church officials and that human dignity required freedom of will). It was an undeniable fact of life during the 1800s that religion, specifically Christianity, was practiced by everyone in the country regardless of race or sex. However, in the mid 20th century, with the emergence of…

    History Mrs

    Even though all reform movements from 1825-1850 did not directly promote democratic principles, several reform movements occurred which did attempt to create a better life for people, create a more democratic society through education, and extend civil rights to minority groups. The reform movement began with the Second Great Awakening. The Second Great Awakening was caused by people falling away from the faith and moving more towards Deism and Unitarianism. Deism became popular because the beliefs of Deism said that there was a supreme being who created the universe and people who could act morally. Deism also believed that all God did was create the universe and the people and didn't interfere with the peoples ever day life, like a clock worker. Unitarianism believed in one God and that there was no trinity. Unitarianism also believed that god is benevolent and bot angry. Preachers like Peter Cartwright, who was best known of the circuit preachers, and Charles Grandson Finney, who called for the end of slavery and alcohol, also contributed to the Second Great Awakening.…

    Religious Fundamentalism.

    “Religious fundamentalism may be heavily politicized and, conversely, it can adopt some of the characteristics of totalitarian ideologies” (Freeden, 2003). Fundamentalism is a main feature of the modern world. With it being a reaction to the secularization of the globe, as a moral protest to the modern values, it cannot be ignored. Several key characteristics of fundamentalism can be identified. It seems that the most serious of these characteristics being that religion and politics are seen as inseparable by its followers.
