[Uucf-bible] Left-wing Puritanism

[Michael D. Burp]

   He seems to have had a particular affinity for fishing - or at least those
   who fished. Taking offense at hunting and hunters would seem a little
   inconsistent, at least to me.

   Minden jot,

   Michael

 Reminds me of the bumpersticker I saw that said "Get Real, like Jesus would
 own a gun and vote Republican" (
 http://www.stickergiant.com/get-real_y4064.html)  I don't necessarily
 endorse the sentiment, but it did strike me as funny when I saw it.  I just
 don't see gun-toting as a vision of Jesus (or genocidal).

 I've just become acquainted with James Luther Adams myself. The lineage and
 destiny of Puritanism is "liberal Christianity". From the seeds of Anne
 Hutchinson through Emerson to the UCC of today, there is a proud
 progressive
 tradition.

 "Left-wing" like "right-wing" have a pejorative tone but I often look for a
 spectrum when searching for Jesus and I must say I always find him on the
 left. For example, welcoming, tolerating, genocidal. Jesus isn't in the
 middle.

 I am reading  Unitarian theologian James Luther Adams' essays and he
      

 keeps
    

 mentioning  "left-wing Puritans" and "left-wing Puritanism".  I was
 completely
 unaware there was a left-wing of the Puritan movement.  Does anyone know
      

 of
    

 any good resources for me to read up on this?
