Massachusetts Historical Society
Lecture: "'A Brazen Wall to Keep the Scirptures Certainty': European Biblical Scholarship in Early America"
Kirsten Macfarlane, University of Cambridge
1154 Boylston Street, Boston, MA
During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, European scholars made significant advances in the historical and critical study of the Bible, often with highly controversial and factious results. This talk will examine how such exciting but potentially subversive European scholarship was received and transformed by its early American readers, through a close study of the books owned and annotated by seventeenth-century readers in New England and elsewhere.
