Résumé
Bringing together an extraordinary richness of evidence-from letters, diaries, and other intimate family writing of the 17th and 18th centuries-Philip Greven, the distinguished scholar of colonial history explores the strikingly distinctive ways in which Protestant children were reared, and the Protestant temperament shaped, in America. Through this cache of remarkable and remarkably immediate and moving material - the family papers of some of America's most famous theologians, political figures, lawyers, and ministers as well as those of lesser-known contemporaries (farmers, merchants, housewives) who embodied Protestant life and wrote about it most expressively-Philip Greven traces the hidden continuities of religious experience, of attitudes toward God, children, the will, the body, sexuality, achievement, pleasure, virtue, and selfhood among the three Protestant groups of the time.
He examines, in turn, the three strains that persisted regardless of denomination. First, the "evangelicals" (their dictum for raising children: "Break their wills that you may save their souls"), ruled by a hostility to the self, a feeling that selfhood is the source of sin, too dangerous to be sought or desired (Jonathan Edwards wrote: "I have been before God and have given myself, all that I am, and have, to God; so that I am not, in any respect, my own .
