English Protestantism provided a vocabulary and structure to describe and maintain boundaries between insider and outsider. In this path-breaking study, Heather Miyano Kopelson peels back the layers of conflicting definitions of bodies and competing practices of faith in the puritan Atlantic, demonstrating how the categories of ?white, ??black,? and ?Indian? developed alongside religious boundaries between ?Christian? and ?heathen? and between ?Catholic? and ?Protestant. ?Faithful Bodies focuses on three communities of Protestant dissent in the Atlantic World: Bermuda, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. In this ?puritan Atlantic,? religion determined insider and outsider status: at times Africans and Natives could belong as long as they embraced the Protestant faith, while Irish Catholics and English Quakers remained suspect. Colonists ?interactions with indigenous peoples of the Americas and with West Central Africans shaped their understandings of human difference and its acceptable boundaries. Prayer, religious instruction, sexual behavior, and other public and private acts became markers of whether or not blacks and Indians were sinning Christians or godless heathens. As slavery became law, transgressing people of color counted less and less as sinners in English puritans? eyes, even as some of them made Christianity an integral part of their communities. As Kopelson shows, this transformation proceeded unevenly but inexorably during the long seventeenth century. 410 0$aEarly American places. 606 $aEthnicity$zAmerica$xReligious aspects$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aProtestantism$xSocial aspects$zAmerica$xHistory$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aPuritans$zAmerica$xHistory$y17th century. 607 $aBermuda Islands$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aRhode Island$xHistory$yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775 607 $aMassachusetts$xHistory$yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$zAmerica$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aBermuda Islands$xRace relations$xReligious aspects$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aRhode Island$xRace relations$xReligious aspects$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aMassachusetts$xRace relations$xReligious aspects$xHistory$y17th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEthnicity$xReligious aspects$xHistory 615 0$aProtestantism$xSocial aspects$xHistory$xHistory 615 0$aPuritans$xHistory 676 $a305.800974 700 $aKopelson$b Heather Miyano$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01055148 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480679003321 996 $aFaithful Bodies$92488324 997 $aUNINA
