Description
Last week, we explored the Doctrines of Discovery and Catholic Christian approach to colonization. This week, we explore Protestant Christian approaches to colonization. Since we only get the introduction to Judaism as a religion, out deep dive into their role within colonization won’t play out until next Monday.
Your Packback discussions this week revisit last week’s question from the Protestant perspective.
Even though the Doctrines of Discovery originated within the Catholic Church, they were in circulation for several decades before and during the Protestant Reformation. Of the issues that Protestantism criticized and changed from Catholic practice, the Doctrines of Discovery were not among them.
How have Protestant uses of colonial Doctrines of Discovery changed or have some stayed the same?
