何處是桃源？: 美國的清教主義及其史學流變
By 張四德 著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
