Book excerpt: The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Book Synopsis The Negro Christianized. an Essay to Excite and Assist That Good Work, the Instruction of Negro Servants in Christianity (1706) by : Cotton Mather
Download or read book The Negro Christianized. an Essay to Excite and Assist That Good Work, the Instruction of Negro Servants in Christianity (1706) written by Cotton Mather. This book was released on 2020-08-24. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For Mather, leaving Natives and Africans outside the body of Christ...would only lead to trouble." - Faithful Bodies (2014) "Every Sunday evening Mather invited black men and women into his home to listen to sermons." - Schooling Citizens (2010) "Mather focused on the spiritual growth of his slave...after he became 'useless and froward.'" - Everyday Crimes (2019) "Mather, in his tract The Negro Christianized...ranged scriptural...argument against those who denied the Negro's humanity." - Slave Religion (2004) In 1706 New England Puritan minister, prolific author, and pamphleteer Cotton Mather (1663 -1728) wrote a short 30-page work titled "The Negro Christianized." The booklet was groundbreaking, as In 1706, the proposition that slaves should be instructed in the Bible would have horrified more traditionalist slave masters who banned the Bible for dread that slaves might adhere to ideas of equality contained in the New Testament. In making his argument for the conversion of slaves to Christianity, Mather writes: "Christianity will be the best cure for this Barbarity. Their Complexion sometimes is made an Argument, why nothing should be done for them. A Gay sort of argument! As if the great God went by the Complexion of Men, in His Favours to them! As if none but Whites might hope to be Favoured and Accepted with God! Whereas it is well known, That the Whites, are the least part of Mankind. The biggest part of Mankind, perhaps, are Copper-Coloured; a sort of Tawnies."
