Pros And Cons Of Concord

In some cases, as Erikson explains, labeling and isolating deviants together creates an even worse problem than the initial crime. Prison systems are notorious for a hierarchical system of criminals, with those on top teaching and grooming the amateurs for worse crimes. With this in mind, Erikson looks at a much lesser yet historically relevant form of deviance; the Puritans’ detachment from the Church.

The book revealed New England’s religious attitudes and mentality, as well as their moral code and way of life. In colonial New England, people lived in towns where everyone knew each other and neighbors often relied on each other for trading goods and support in one’s time of need. This early American society found great importance in devotion to God and their Puritan faith, which they upheld over everything. It was widely believed at the time that falling into illness, just as Katherine Branch had was God’s way of punishing sinners. Godbeer states, “God might have inflicted the symptoms as punishment for sin; ideally this would prompt repentance and reformation as the inflicted person recalled the moral lapse that had provoked God’s anger” (17).

New Hampshire was graciously founded on June 21,1788, for the record this was a little over 228 years ago. As for religion 35.15 percent are simply religious meaning they don’t attend regular sunday services, but they do believe that there is a God greater than us. Catholic Christians stand at 24 percent, meaning there probably aren’t that much catholic churches. Here’s proof, there are 1.327 million people living in the state of New Hampshire today. So if I divide 1.327 million by 100, that equals to thirteen thousand two hundred seventy. Finally thirteen thousand two hundred seventy times twenty four equals 318,480 people. Yes that may be a lot but compared to 1.327 million people, that is nowhere near a lot of people.

Well respected puritan minister, in his sermon, Jonathan Edwards,”Sinners in the hands of an Angry God” (1741), establishes the consequences of why God won’t accept them in the Puritan Religion. Edwards purpose is to impress upon the Puritans’ Religion is to get God to forgive everyone so they can be accepted into the religion. He adopts a desperate tone because he’s so worried about the Puritans’ because God is wrathful and will punish them for their sins. Edward supports his claim by employing, repetition,imagery, and pathos to make the readers frightened of sinning and the consequences with it.

The nature of this document is taken from the notebooks of Nehemiah Wallington (1818-1654). “An extract of the passages of my life’ (Booy, D. (end) 2007), written in 1662. The extract is one of over fifty journals written over a twenty years period, of which seven originals remain. The purpose of this document is described in Grell (2016 p.81) as a means of private and later public record relating of Wallington’s reflections of his religious struggle for salvation as a sinner that believes he belongs to the “Elect”, those predestined for salvation. This autobiographical work provided historians with primary source of evidence of the thoughts and beliefs of a Puritan married man, and his religious responsibilities and relationship with his household.

The colonists strongly desired independence and separation from Britain once taxation without representation was imposed on them. The colonies struggled to earn their representation in the Parliament of their mother country. They were turned down repeatedly and this caused huge issues for the colonists; it was the complete reason for the Revolutionary War. Therefore, the demand for no taxation without representation was the primary force to motivate America against Britain and it was also a symbol for democracy.

Haltigar not only fits the addressee of the warning, as an Archbishop, he is doing what the warning exactly asks: laboring to uproot the art of sorcery from his parishes. Within The “Roman” Pentitential, Haltigar provides a guideline for the priests and clergy on how to identify such practices and beliefs, and the fit penance or punishment for them. Through the lens of Augustine and Haltigar’s work, we can see that the Canon Episcopi seems to be drawing off of much earlier traditions and themes within Christian theology and literature.

Once meeting his destination, Young Goodman Brown is accused by a man “in grave and decent attire” (Hawthorne 1289) of being late. “Faith kept me back awhile” (1290) is Goodman Brown’s excuse. Though Goodman Brown’s delicate wife Faith did try to her best ability to keep him from going on this journey, she may not have been the only culpriate. We all have those peculiar moments when something about which we have a bad feeling pulls us back. That thing is our Faith, and Goodman Brown’s didn’t want him going on this journey.
