Puritans Key Beliefs Total Depravity – through Adam and Eve's fall, every person is born sinful – concept of Original Sin. Unconditional Election – God "saves" those he wishes - only a few are selected for salvation – concept of predestination. Limited Atonement –Jesus died for the chosen only, not for everyone. Irresistible Grace - God's grace is freely given, it cannot be earned or denied. Grace is defined as the saving and transfiguring power of God. Perseverance of the "saints" - those elected by God have full power to interpret the will of God, and to live uprightly. If anyone rejects grace after feeling its power in his life, he will be going against the will of God - something impossible in Puritanism. --Paul Reuben http://www.csustan.edu/english/reuben/pal/chap1/1intro.html#basic

Legacy Lasting Effects of Puritan Ideas The need for moral justification for private, public, and governmental acts. The Desire for Freedom - personal, political, economic, and social. The Puritan work ethic. Elegiac verse - morbid fascination with death. The city upon the hill - concept of manifest destiny .

Puritan Writing The Function of Puritan Writers To transform a mysterious God - mysterious because God is separate from the world. To make God more relevant to the universe. To glorify God. The Style of Puritan Writing Protestant: against ornateness; reverence for the Bible. Purposeful: to glorify God and make God relevant in the universe Reflective of Reading Public: literate and well-grounded in religion.
