Religious Revival -- $tNotes -- $tIndex 330 $aHeavenly Merchandize offers a critical reexamination of religion's role in the creation of a market economy in early America. Focusing on the economic culture of New England, it views commerce through the eyes of four generations of Boston merchants, drawing upon their personal letters, diaries, business records, and sermon notes to reveal how merchants built a modern form of exchange out of profound transitions in the puritan understanding of discipline, providence, and the meaning of New England. Mark Valeri traces the careers of men like Robert Keayne, a London immigrant punished by his church for aggressive business practices; John Hull, a silversmith-turned-trader who helped to establish commercial networks in the West Indies; and Hugh Hall, one of New England's first slave traders. He explores how Boston ministers reconstituted their moral languages over the course of a century, from a scriptural discourse against many market practices to a providential worldview that justified England's commercial hegemony and legitimated the market as a divine construct. Valeri moves beyond simplistic readings that reduce commercial activity to secular mind-sets, and refutes the popular notion of an inherent affinity between puritanism and capitalism. He shows how changing ideas about what it meant to be pious and puritan informed the business practices of Boston's merchants, who filled their private notebooks with meditations on scripture and the natural order, founded and led churches, and inscribed spiritual reflections in their letters and diaries. Unprecedented in scope and rich with insights, Heavenly Merchandize illuminates the history behind the continuing American dilemma over morality and the marketplace. 606 $aPuritans$xDoctrines$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aPuritans$xDoctrines$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aPuritans$xInfluence 606 $aBusiness$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 607 $aUnited States$xReligion$yTo 1800 610 $aA Model of Christian Charity. 610 $aAmerican Antiquarian Society. 610 $aAmerican Enlightenment. 610 $aAnne Hutchinson. 610 $aAntinomian Controversy. 610 $aAntinomianism. 610 $aApologetics. 610 $aAtlantic World. 610 $aBill of credit. 610 $aBoyle Lectures. 610 $aBrattle Street (Cambridge, Massachusetts). 610 $aCalvinism. 610 $aCensure. 610 $aCharles Chauncy. 610 $aChristian Identity. 610 $aChristian fundamentalism. 610 $aChristian socialism. 610 $aCommodity. 610 $aCotton Mather. 610 $aCreditor. 610 $aCurrency Act. 610 $aCurrency. 610 $aCustomer. 610 $aDaniel Defoe. 610 $aDebtor. 610 $aDeism. 610 $aDivine right of kings. 610 $aEconomics. 610 $aEconomy and Society. 610 $aEdward Hutchinson (captain). 610 $aEngland. 610 $aExcommunication. 610 $aFraud. 610 $aGeneva Bible. 610 $aGod. 610 $aHeinrich Bullinger. 610 $aHeresy. 610 $aIncrease Mather. 610 $aJeremiad. 610 $aJohn Calvin. 610 $aJohn Coggeshall. 610 $aJohn Colet. 610 $aJohn Wheelwright. 610 $aJohn Winthrop. 610 $aJoseph Addison. 610 $aJoseph Dudley. 610 $aJoshua Scottow. 610 $aKing Philip's War. 610 $aLecture. 610 $aLoyalty. 610 $aMassachusetts Historical Society. 610 $aMax Weber. 610 $aMercantilism. 610 $aMerchant. 610 $aMoral economy. 610 $aNathaniel Ward. 610 $aNavigation Acts. 610 $aNew England. 610 $aNicholas Barbon. 610 $aOld South Church. 610 $aOld South. 610 $aOn Religion. 610 $aPeter Bulkley. 610 $aPeter Pelham. 610 $aPiety. 610 $aPolitical economy. 610 $aPoor relief. 610 $aPopular sovereignty. 610 $aProtestant work ethic. 610 $aProtestantism. 610 $aPublic expenditure. 610 $aPuritans. 610 $aReligion. 610 $aRobert Cushman. 610 $aSamuel Sewall. 610 $aSamuel Willard. 610 $aSecularism. 610 $aSecularization. 610 $aSensibility. 610 $aSimon Bradstreet. 610 $aSlavery. 610 $aSociety of Jesus. 610 $aSouth Sea Company. 610 $aTax. 610 $aThe Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. 610 $aThe Wealth and Poverty of Nations. 610 $aTheology. 610 $aThomas Hooker. 610 $aThomas Mun. 610 $aThomas Sprat. 610 $aTreatise. 610 $aUsury. 610 $aWarfare. 610 $aWealth. 610 $aWilliam Ames. 610 $aWilliam Petty. 610 $aWilliam Phips. 610 $aWilliam Pynchon. 610 $aWilliam Whiston. 610 $aWorkhouse. 615 0$aPuritans$xDoctrines$xHistory 615 0$aPuritans$xDoctrines$xHistory 615 0$aPuritans$xInfluence. 615 0$aBusiness$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 676 $a261.8/5097409032 700 $aValeri$b Mark R$01648892 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815039303321 996 $aHeavenly merchandize$94001519 997 $aUNINA
