1673 1747 Benjamin Churchman Colman Depicted
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the young and passionate Reverend Benjamin Colman, an influential American churchman born in 1673. The image, created around the year 1703 when Colman was in his early thirties, offers a glimpse into the life of a man who dedicated himself to the spiritual well-being of his community. Born in Watertown, Massachusetts, Colman was a prominent figure in the early history of the United States. He was educated at Harvard College and ordained as a minister in the Congregational Church in 1698. Colman's religious beliefs were deeply rooted in the Puritan tradition, which emphasized the importance of personal piety, hard work, and community. Throughout his career, Colman was known for his eloquent preaching and his commitment to social justice. He advocated for the rights of Native Americans, spoke out against slavery, and worked to improve the living conditions of the poor. Colman also played a significant role in the Great Awakening, a religious revival that swept through the American colonies in the early 18th century. Despite his many accomplishments, Colman faced challenges and controversies throughout his life. He was accused of being too radical in his views and was even excommunicated from his church for a time. But Colman remained steadfast in his convictions, continuing to serve his community and inspire others with his faith and dedication. This portrait, with its solemn expression and serious gaze, captures the intensity and depth of Colman's character. It serves as a reminder of the important role that religious leaders played in the early history of America and the enduring power of faith to shape individuals and communities.
