Mary Rowlandson: Captivated
How do you think Mary Rowlandson died? Mary Rowlandson could've died because of many reasons. Aside from the fact that she was first captivated, then her children were killed and she faced hardships and meager situations regarding living conditions, I believe Mary Rowlandson died because of nothing but sorrow.

Do you think that ater being imprisoned twice for his actions on speaking against the New England stopped him from being so verbal about his opinnions? No, I believe that Richard Baxter was a very opinnionated individual, who spoke about what he thought was siginificant to his religion.

He also was known for his commentary on the bible which was diffrent than any other commentary because he was more practical rather than critical. -
Jonathan Edwards: Leading Figure In The Great Awakening
Why did Edwards religious views change so swiftly from being a non-believer of the soverignty of God to the absolute devotion and acceptance to Christ?
Edward in the begening had no belief in the soverignty of God and his powers. Being an intellectual, he had a very diffrent point of view, and a perspective of religion. It is said that Edward was meditating on a portion of the Bible where he suddenly felt the emerging love for God, and the actual truth, which profuondly changed him.
