Spanning more than two centuries across colonial British America and the United States, The First Prejudice offers a groundbreaking exploration of the early history of persecution and toleration. The twelve essays in this volume were composed by leading historians with an eye to the larger significance of religious tolerance and intolerance. Individual chapters examine the prosecution of religious crimes, the biblical sources of tolerance and intolerance, the British imperial context of toleration, the bounds of Native American spiritual independence, the nuances of anti-Semitism and anti-Catholicism, the resilience of African American faiths, and the challenges confronted by skeptics and freethinkers. The First Prejudice presents a revealing portrait of the rhetoric, regulations, and customs that shaped the relationships between people of different faiths in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century America. It relates changes in law and language to the lived experience of religious conflict and religious cooperation, highlighting the crucial ways in which they molded U.S. culture and politics. By incorporating a broad range of groups and religious differences in its accounts of tolerance and intolerance, The First Prejudice opens a significant new vista on the understanding of America's long experience with diversity. 410 0$aEarly American studies. 606 $aReligious tolerance 606 $aFreedom of religion 606 $aPrejudices$xReligious aspects 607 $aUnited States$xChurch history$y17th century 607 $aUnited States$xChurch history$y18th century 607 $aUnited States$xReligion$yTo 1800 610 $aAmerican History. 610 $aAmerican Studies. 610 $aReligion. 610 $aReligious Studies. 615 0$aReligious tolerance. 615 0$aFreedom of religion. 615 0$aPrejudices$xReligious aspects 676 $a277.3/07 686 $aNO 2300$qSEPA$2rvk 701 $aBeneke$b Chris$g(Christopher J.)$01467621 701 $aGrenda$b Christopher S$01467622 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788582003321 996 $aThe first prejudice$93678353 997 $aUNINA
