Notes: “!om A Narrative of the Captivity” by Mary Rowlandson, Tues. 8/19

The Puritans regarded biblical captivity narrative, such as that of the enslavement of the Israelites by the Egyptians, as allegories representing the Christians’ liberation from sin through the intervention of God’s grace.

Mary Rowlandson viewed her own experiences as a captive as a repetition of the biblical pattern and used allusions to reflect her own situation.

She used quotations from the Bible to place her experiences in the context of the ancient biblical captivities.

Edwards as a major force in the movement in New England, which helped spark some antislavery activities and a surge of missionary work among Native Americans. It also led to the founding of such colleges as Princeton, Dartmouth, and Rutgers.
