Presentation transcript:

The movement began in England in the middle of the sixteenth century (1500s). Moved into the New England colonies by way of settlers in the New World.

Christians in England 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!

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.

These non-conformists were called PURITANS because they wanted to purify the church.

Several beliefs differentiated Puritans from other Christians: (TULIP) Total Depravity: even person is born sinful (via original sin). Unconditional Election: God saves only those he wishes (predestination) *Belief in Jesus was not enough! *Participation in sacraments was not enough! Neither of the above could affect salvation!

Limited Atonement: Jesus died only for the chosen or elect (not for everyone). Irresistible Grace: God’s grace cannot be earned or denied. (Grace is the saving and transfiguring power of God.) Perseverance of the Saints: the elect have power to interpret God’s will and live uprightly. Note: Going against God’s will is impossible in Puritanism!

Martin Luther ( ) A German theologian who attacked the corruption in the Catholic Church with the publication of his 95 theses. Believed that all people were innately endowed with grace through God. Argued that no pope or bishop had any God-given right over the souls of men.

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).

The Covenant of Works – God promised his progeny eternal life if they obeyed moral law. After Adam broke this covenant, God made a new covenant with Abraham. Puritans believed they were direct descendants of Abraham.

The Covenant of Grace – This requires an active faith and “softens” the doctrine of predestination. God still chooses the elect but there is now a sort of “contract” or understanding. Punishment for sin is a proper response to disobedience.

The Covenant of Redemption – The pre-existence of the aforementioned covenant. Christ bound God to accept him as man’s representative. If Christ paid the price for the redemption of believers, his followers would be washed of their sins.

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 (for men), smoking in public, and 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. 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!

Content: Obviously the content was religious and included such themes/ideas Life is a “test”: winners go to Heaven, losers go to hell! Earth is a battlefield between God and Satan America is a holy “promised land” where Puritans will create Heaven on Earth, a Christian utopia.

Literary Genres: sermons and religious tracts diaries histories personal narratives religious poems

Effect: There was very little, if any, imaginative literature produced. - If such literature was produced, it was for personal satisfaction and not to be published. Historical Context: Puritans were highly educated and literate (many had university degrees), mainly to understand scripture.
