The reason to look at seventeenth-century English and American Puritans' understanding and experience of joy, happiness, assurance, and affliction is to show how important the emotions were for Puritan culture, from leading figures such as Richard Baxter and John Bunyan through to more obscure diarists and letter-writers. Rejecting the modern opposition between 'head' and 'heart', these men and women believed that a rational religion was also a deeply-felt one, and that contemplative practices and other spiritual duties could produce transporting joy which was understood as a Christian's birthright. The emotional experiences which they expected from their faith, and the ones they actually encountered, constituted much of its power. Theologians, historians and literary scholars here combine to bring the study of Puritanism together with the new vogue for the history of the emotions. 410 0$aChristianities in the Trans-Atlantic World,$x2634-5846 606 $aPhilosophy$xHistory 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aAmerica$xHistory 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x1492- 606 $aEmotions 606 $aHistory of Philosophy 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland 606 $aHistory of the Americas 606 $aModern History 606 $aHistory of Early Modern Europe 606 $aEmotion 615 0$aPhilosophy$xHistory. 615 0$aGreat Britain$xHistory. 615 0$aAmerica$xHistory. 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x1492-. 615 0$aEmotions. 615 14$aHistory of Philosophy. 615 24$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aHistory of the Americas. 615 24$aModern History. 615 24$aHistory of Early Modern Europe. 615 24$aEmotion. 676 $a285/.9 702 $aRyrie$b A$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSchwanda$b Tom$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255348903321 996 $aPuritanism and Emotion in the Early Modern World$92518863 997 $aUNINA
