Focus Questions How did religion affect the literature of the Colonial Period? What aspects of Puritanism are visible in contemporary society?

Calvinism: The Legacy of John Calvin (1509-1564) was a French theologian, pastor, & social reformer is considered the founder of the Puritan ethic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vg2O0hZ5ChA

Why leave England? To purify or separate from the ‘corrupt’ Church of England To seek religious freedom

Pilgrims in Holland

Arrival The 1st colony was Roanoke, NC in 1585 – became known as the lost colony. White returns in 1590 – “Croatoan” is marked on a tree. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pFaJnvtOWU The 2nd colony was founded at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607. The Pilgrims, founders of Plymouth, Massachusetts, arrived in 1620. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoXHXbgRJvc&list=UUBoEhBRE9fnWKU4M1CBV1EQ&index=13&feature=plcp Between 1630-1690 were as many university grads in northeastern section of US than in the mother country. Interesting fact because intellectuals were often aristocrats; colonial life was far from easy living.

Puritan Beliefs Total Depravity Unconditional Election Limited Atonement Irresistible Grace Perseverance of the "saints"

depravity – moral corruption or degradation Total Depravity depravity – moral corruption or degradation Through Adam and Eve’s fall, every person is born sinful. This is closely linked to original sin.

Unconditional Election God saves those he wishes. Only a few are selected for salvation and not based on their own merit. This is the concept of predestination.

Limited Atonement Jesus died for the chosen only, not for everyone.

Irresistible Grace grace – the saving & transfiguring power of God God’s grace is freely given; it cannot be earned or denied.

Perseverance of the “Saints” Those elected by God have full power to interpret the will of God & 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.

Summary Thus, if one is born a slave to sin and spiritually dead--is TOTALLY DEPRAVED or spiritually unable--then salvation must ULTIMATELY be a free or UNCONDITIONAL gift, in no way finally dependent or contingent on one's actions--back to the "U" or UNCONDITIONAL ELECTION.

Puritan Beliefs Strong work ethic Hard day’s work brought joy to a man’s heart Bible shunned laziness: “if anyone does not want to work, let him not eat.” Gambling, dancing, etc. not condoned—works that lead to sin

Daily Life

The Puritans… believed that God was working in their daily lives. would “search” their daily lives in order to find any symbols from God. were educated and taught their followers to be rational thinkers. believed in effective business practices. feared that humanistic learning would draw people away from the church.
