Faith and Slavery in the Presbyterian Diaspora considers how, in
areas as diverse as the New Hebrides, Scotland, the United States,
and East Central Africa, men's and women's shared Presbyterian
faith conditioned their interpretations of and interactions with
the institution of chattel slavery. The chapters highlight how
Presbyterians' reactions to slavery -which ranged from
abolitionism, to indifference, to support-reflected their
considered application of the principles of the Reformed Tradition
to the institution. Consequently, this collection reveals how the
particular ways in which Presbyterians framed the Reformed
Tradition made slavery an especially problematic and fraught issue
for adherents to the faith. Faith and Slavery, by situating slavery
at the nexus of Presbyterian theology and practice, offers a fresh
perspective on the relationship between religion and slavery. It
reverses the all too common assumption that religion primarily
served to buttress existing views on slavery, by illustrating how
groups' and individuals reactions to slavery emerged from their
understanding of the Presbyterian faith. The collection's
geographic reach-encompassing the experiences of people from
Europe, Africa, America, and the Pacific-filtered through the lens
of Presbyterianism also highlights the global dimensions of slavery
and the debates surrounding it. The institution and the challenges
it presented, Faith and Slavery stresses, reflected less the
peculiar conditions of a particular place and time, than the
broader human condition as people attempt to understand and shape
their world.
Essays that explore how Protestants responded to the opportunities
and perils of revolution in the transatlantic age Revolution as
Reformation: Protestant Faith in the Age of Revolutions, 1688-1832
highlights the role that Protestantism played in shaping both
individual and collective responses to revolution. These essays
explore the various ways that the Protestant tradition, rooted in a
perpetual process of recalibration and reformulation, provided the
lens through which Protestants experienced and understood social
and political change in the Age of Revolutions. In particular, they
call attention to how Protestants used those changes to continue or
accelerate the Protestant imperative of refining their faith toward
an improved vision of reformed religion. The editors and
contributors define faith broadly: they incorporate individuals as
well as specific sects and denominations, and as much of "life
experience" as possible, not just life within a given church. In
this way, the volume reveals how believers combined the practical
demands of secular society with their personal faith and how, in
turn, their attempts to reform religion shaped secular society. The
wide-ranging essays highlight the exchange of Protestant thinkers,
traditions, and ideas across the Atlantic during this period. These
perspectives reveal similarities between revolutionary movements
across and around the Atlantic. The essays also emphasize the
foundational role that religion played in people's attempts to make
sense of their world, and the importance they placed on harmonizing
their ideas about religion and politics. These efforts produced
novel theories of government, encouraged both revolution and
counterrevolution, and refined both personal and collective
understandings of faith and its relationship to society.
