The Protestant Temperament book cover
The Protestant Temperament
Philip J. Greven - 1977-01-01 (впервые опубликовано в 2013)
Рейтинг Goodreads
Discover the psychological and social effects that religion and piety had on early American life in this groundbreaking exploration of the three distinct Protestant groups of the 17th and 18th centuries. Using evidence from family papers of famous theologians, political figures, lawyers, and ministers, as well as lesser-known contemporaries, Philip Greven explores the attitudes towards God, children, the will, the body, sexuality, achievement, pleasure, virtue, and selfhood within the evangelical, moderate, and genteel groups. A fascinating and illuminating interpretation of the American Protestant experience.

@yeselson @agordonreed a bit distant from this but there’s a wonderful book called the Protestant Temperament. About evolving theories of child rearing in the 17th/18th. Never really got respect in the history field because it was so psych based. But a quite wonderful book that gets at some of this.      источник

Just finished reading Ronan Farrows Catch and Kill book for a book project I’m working on. Man, it is a really, **really** good book. Not even talking abt the original reporting, which we know abt, but just as a piece of writing & story-telling. Like masterful.      источник

@yeselson @NicholasGuyatt Basically agree on all this thread. And Sean's career arc is remarkable. I mean, Chants Democratic is an incredibly important book. I agree on the accusation of Ahabism, though I do think his critics here undermine themselves by digging on the causes of the rev argument.      источник

The Birth of the Papal State, 680-825 (The Middle Ages Series)
Thomas F. X. Noble - 1986-08-01 (впервые опубликовано в 1984)
Рейтинг Goodreads
This book presents a bold argument about the early Republic of Central Italy, challenging the traditional belief that it was a Frankish creation. Noble delves into the political, economic, and religious reasons behind the Republic's founding and covers its unique social structures and governance. A provocative and comprehensive exploration of a little-known part of Italy's history.
