Letters of John Calvin
The Heritage of John Calvin: Heritage Hall Lectures, 1960-70
美國是由多元族群所組成的國家,其中十七世紀初抵達的清教徒,雖然人數不多、時間也非最早,但其推崇勤勞、簡約、學習等的價值觀,形塑了新英格蘭價值體系的核心。此價值體系與美國主流文化的關係為何?是局限於新英格蘭地區的「新英格蘭體制」(New England way)?抑或是與時俱進、日久彌新,隨美國的擴張而伸展,成為普世的「新英格蘭之道」(the New England Way)?在建國二百餘年後,美國是否仍秉持早期清教移民的宗教熱忱,持續努力?本書追溯美國清教主義的淵源及特質,分析英國清教徒的歷史背景及其遠渡重洋、追求建立《聖經》中「山丘上的城」(City upon the Hill)的故事。並從不同時期史學家對殖民清教主義的詮釋,釐清清教主義地位的變化、剖析清教主義與美國主流文化間的關係及意義。是理解美國歷史,乃至於美國清教文化對全球如何產生影響的重要作品。中央研究院院士、副院長 黃進興中央研究院院士 石守謙───專文推薦
