Description

Remarkable Providences is a book written by Increase Mather, an influential Puritan minister and scholar, in 1684. The book is a collection of accounts of supernatural events and miracles that were believed to have occurred in New England during the late 17th century. Mather's purpose in writing the book was to provide evidence of God's providential care and intervention in the lives of his people.The book is divided into two parts. The first part contains a series of narratives that describe various supernatural events, including visions, prophecies, and miraculous healings. Some of these stories are based on first-hand accounts, while others are second-hand reports that Mather collected from other sources. The second part of the book is a theological reflection on the nature of God's providence and the role of miracles in the Christian faith.Remarkable Providences was an important work in its time, and it helped to shape the religious beliefs and practices of the Puritan community in New England. It was also influential in the development of American literature, as it was one of the first books to be written and published in the colonies.
