The Origin and Legacy of Puritanism

本研究项目于2003年4月开始，2007年3月结束。在4年的项目中，我与哈佛神学院的David Hall教授和约翰霍普金斯大学的Larzer Ziff教授举办了2次联合系列讲座。他们作为国际合作研究员加入了这个项目。除了讲座之外，我的项目还赞助了美国的研究之旅和论文展示，以及文章的发表。以下只是众多结果中的几个。小仓泉、大西直树、正井静代每年都会到哈佛大学与霍尔教授见面。我们讨论了他将在东京举办的系列讲座，讨论了我们应该如何推进对约翰·科顿和托马斯·胡克的研究。大西还参加了美国历史学家组织和美国研究协会每年的年会。2005年，该项目部分资助了他的旅行和在哥伦比亚大学的研究。Masui在2000学年期间呆在波士顿和哈佛大学。最重要的论文介绍是国际基督教大学卓越中心（COE）项目主办的研讨会。COE 21世纪是日本政府最高级别的研究项目，ICU是入选该项目的牵头研究机构之一。在项目期间出版了许多文章和书籍。该项目的最终报告题为《清教主义的起源和遗产》，共191页。小仓出版了《约翰·科顿与清教主义》（2004年），正井出版了《殖民美洲的宗教思想》（2006年）。大西出版了《政教分离》（2006），其中包含了他、小仓和正井的文章。在4年的项目期间，所有研究者发表的文章和书籍达55篇。标题列在报告的“引言”部分。为了加深对清教主义的理解和深入研究，小仓泉计划为“托马斯·胡克与康涅狄格”项目申请另一笔拨款。为了这个新项目，我准备了两篇论文：一篇是关于政教分离的，另一篇是关于从清教徒到拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生的宗教思想的转变。基于这个项目的结果，我想扩展和探索美国清教主义的新的和原创的方面。少

This research project started in April 2003 and ended in March 2007. During 4 years of the project, I held 2 joint lecture series with Professors David Hall of Harvard Divinity School and Larzer Ziff of Johns Hopkins University. They joined the project as international collaborating researcher. In addition to the lectures, my project sponsored research trips to the US and paper presentations, and publications of articles. The following is just a few results out of many.Izumi Ogura, Naoki Onishi and Shitsuyo Masui visited Harvard University every year to meet Professor Hall. We discussed the lecture series he would hold in Tokyo and talked about how we should advance research on John Cotton and Thomas Hooker. Onishi also attended the annual conventions of the Organization of American Historians and American Studies Association every year. The project funded partly his travels and his research at Columbia University in 2005. Masui stayed in Boston and Harvard during the academic year 200 … More 5.The most important paper presentation was the seminar sponsored by Center of Excellence (COE) Project by International Christian Univ. COE for the 21st century is the highest ranking research project by Japanese government and ICU was one of the head research institutions selected for it.Many articles and books were published during the project years. The final report of the project is titled by The Origin and Legacy of Puritanism with 191 pages. Ogura published a book John Cotton and Puritanism (2004), and Masui published Religious Ideas of the Colonial America (2006). Onishi published The Separation of Church and State (2006) which contains articles by him, Ogura, and Masui. Articles and books published by all investigators during 4 year term of the project amount to 55. The titles are listed in "Introduction" of the report.In order to develop the understanding of Puritanism and deepen research on it, Izumi Ogura plans to apply for another grant for the project "Thomas Hooker and Connecticut." For this new project, I am preparing two papers: one is on the separation of church and state and the other on the transition of religious ideas from Puritans to Ralph Waldo Emerson. Based on the results of this project, I would like to expand and explore new and original aspects of Puritanism in America. Less
