Seller: World of Books (was SecondSale), Montgomery, IL, U.S.A.
Condition: Good. Bringing together an extraordinary richness of evidence from letters, diaries, and other intimate family records of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries Philip Greven explores the strikingly distinctive ways in which Protestant children were reared in America. In tracing the hidden continuities of religious experience, of attitudes toward God, children, the self, sexuality, pleasure, virtue, and achievement, Greven identifies three distinct Protestant temperaments prevailing among Americans at the time: the Evangelical, the Moderate, and the General. The Protestant Temperament is a powerful reassessment of the role of child-rearing and religion in early American life. Seller Inventory # 00106427742
