► The Puritan movement began in England in the middle of the sixteenth century (1500 ’ s). ► Puritanism moved into the New England colonies by way of settlers in the New World.

► Christians in England had began to feel that the church was corrupt. ► As a result, reformers suggested that scripture, NOT the clergy, should guide Christian life. ► THE POPE ’ S AUTHORITY WAS CHALLENGED! CHALLENGED!

► 1543 – King Henry broke away from the Catholic Church to form the Church of England. ► BY LAW English citizens were forced to join the new church. ► However, many began to believe that their quarrel was with a temporal authority dictating spiritual life, not with the pope.

 John Calvin ( ) –Believed that the downfall of mankind was directly related to the corruption resulting from the fall of Adam and Eve. –Believed that God ’ s forgiveness is limited to a select group of followers (LIMITED ATONEMENT). –Believed THAT God ’ s forgiveness could neither be earned nor denied (IRRESTIBLE GRACE).

 Calvin Cont. –Felt that God ’ s chosen remain in a state of grace while on earth and are taken directly to heaven when dead (PERSEVERANCE OF SAINTS).

Puritanical Laws and Punishments The laws and restrictions of the Puritans are known as some of the harshest in early American colonization and were administered through religion. –A person was fined, imprisoned, and whipped for non-attendance at church services! People were dealt with more harshly if they spoke against religion or denied the divine origin of any book from the Bible.

–Women were not allowed to wear lace or have clothes that showed skin! –Long hair worn by men, smoking in public, or showing P.D.A. was unacceptable!!

–Youths were not allowed to court one another in public and needed the consent of the girl’s parents to court period! –Children were often found crying in fear they would go to hell and not be chosen as the elect! Crying was done privately as children were punished for doing so in public!!!!!!
