This paper attempts to find the similarity between Religious Affections of Jonathan Edwards and The Blithedale Romance of Nathaniel Hawthorne. They have some common features not only in the motivation of their writings and their messages but also in the comments on their societies. The similarities between Edwards and Hawthorne may be summarized as follows: both were filled with the sense of man's sinfulness; both were intensely religious, their theology springing from the heart and love; both emphasized the postmillennialism believing that our society could advance under God's providence. As a result of his experiences during the Awakening movement of the 18th century, Edwards came to feel that renovation of the heart was the only real basis for the real religion. So in Religious Affections, Edwards struggled with the central question arising from the Great Awakening: "What is the true religion?" The two dominant themes emerging from Religious Affections are likewise dominant themes of The Blithedale Romance: "How can one discern between appearance and reality?" and "What is the true basis of ideal community?"The mask image is dominant in the work of Nathaniel Hawthorne. The devotees in Blithedale community are guilty of the same delusion as the false enthusiasts condemned by Edwards; they confuse appearance and reality by trying to substitute the outward change for the inner change. This confusion between shadow and substance is a basic problem of the community. Priscilla acts as the medium of the truth, and she becomes a redemptive character in that she symbolizes love and heart. She is the ideal of the true religion set up by Hawthorne in The Blithedale Romance and Edwards in Religious Affections. Jonathan Edwards and Nathaniel Hawthorne agree that regeneration must come from within the heart, and that inward sphere must be purified.

Abstract

This paper attempts to find the similarity between Religious Affections of Jonathan Edwards and The Blithedale Romance of Nathaniel Hawthorne. They have some common features not only in the motivation of their writings and their messages but also in the comments on their societies. The similarities between Edwards and Hawthorne may be summarized as follows: both were filled with the sense of man's sinfulness; both were intensely religious, their theology springing from the heart and love; both emphasized the postmillennialism believing that our society could advance under God's providence. As a result of his experiences during the Awakening movement of the 18th century, Edwards came to feel that renovation of the heart was the only real basis for the real religion. So in Religious Affections, Edwards struggled with the central question arising from the Great Awakening: "What is the true religion?" The two dominant themes emerging from Religious Affections are likewise dominant themes of The Blithedale Romance: "How can one discern between appearance and reality?" and "What is the true basis of ideal community?"The mask image is dominant in the work of Nathaniel Hawthorne. The devotees in Blithedale community are guilty of the same delusion as the false enthusiasts condemned by Edwards; they confuse appearance and reality by trying to substitute the outward change for the inner change. This confusion between shadow and substance is a basic problem of the community. Priscilla acts as the medium of the truth, and she becomes a redemptive character in that she symbolizes love and heart. She is the ideal of the true religion set up by Hawthorne in The Blithedale Romance and Edwards in Religious Affections. Jonathan Edwards and Nathaniel Hawthorne agree that regeneration must come from within the heart, and that inward sphere must be purified.
