Arrow Against Profane and Promiscuous Dancing is a book written by Increase Mather, a prominent Puritan minister, in 1682. The book is a condemnation of dancing, particularly in the context of the Puritan community in colonial America. Mather argues that dancing is a sinful and immoral activity that leads to promiscuity and other forms of moral decay. He cites various biblical passages and historical examples to support his argument, and provides advice on how to resist the temptation to dance. The book is written in a highly moralistic and didactic style, and reflects the strict religious beliefs of the Puritan community in which it was written. While it may be of interest to scholars of colonial American history or Puritan theology, it is unlikely to appeal to a general audience.1684. This essay was drawn from the quiver of the scriptures. Concerning the controversy about dancing, the question is not, whether all dancing be in itself sinful. Nor is the question whether a sober and grave dancing of men and women be not allowable, but our question is concerning gynecandrical dancing, or that which is commonly called mixed or promiscuous dancing.
