초록/해제  
요약 : This study examines the emergence of the advocacy of religious liberty and its conceptualization within one colonial American denomination, Presbyterianism. I analyze the thought and activity of three influential Presbyterians, Francis Makemie, Francis Alison, and William Livingston in their intellectual, religious and societal contexts to understand the theoretical and philosophical assumptions which informed their arguments for religious liberty as they developed over the first half of the eighteenth century. The thesis of this study is that the rhetoric, principles and ideology of civic humanism, the long-established political philosophy of disinterested public virtue for the common good, were a primary intellectual foundational for key rationalist Presbyterians in their struggles for religious liberty. To demonstrate this, I survey the thought of these individuals and analyze the key controversies which drew their attention to religious freedom.
초록/해제  
요약 : This study proposes a third contributor to the emergence and development of religious liberty in colonial America: rationalist-pietist Presbyterians who engaged in a principled advocacy for religious liberty rooted in civic humanist ideals. Specifically, their rationales included the benefit religious liberty offered to civil society, both religious and governmental, and religious liberty's "constitutional" character, that is, the way that colonial and British society had constituted itself with "civil and religious liberties" an intrinsic part of the common good. This advocacy developed over the course of the first half of the eighteenth-century. Francis Makemie exhibited shared concerns with the civic humanist tradition while Francis Alison had a stronger, principled connection to civic humanism. Finally, William Livingston's writings manifest an intentional and pervasive appropriation of civic humanist ideology.
초록/해제  
요약 : This thesis revises longstanding notions of the manner in which freedom of religion emerged in colonial America. The conventional historiography suggests two primary contributors to the development of freedom of religion in eighteenth-century America, Enlightenment rationalists and sectarian evangelical pietists. They came together in a pragmatic coalition to promote religious liberty in the colonies. The two factions supported religious liberty for differing reasons: rationalists wanted to keep religion out of government while pietists wanted to keep government out of (their) religion.
