Ann Hutchinson, Cotton Mather, Jonathan Edwards
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page paper presents a hypothetical dialog between and among the three persons in the title. For instance, Hutchinson was banished from Massachusetts because of her radical ideas about gender equality. All three were influential in the history of religion in America. The topic is whether or not the church should ordain homosexuals. The essay begins with a brief background of each of the three. The essay then launches into the dialog that might occur. The writer also notes which of the three might be more accepting of the proposal. The reader must suspend logic regarding time periods (for example, Hutchinson was dead before Mather was born) and simply focus on what a discussion among these three luminaries might sound like.
