Presentation transcript:

They wanted to reform their national church by eliminating every shred of Catholic influence Their attempt to “purify” the Church of England and their own lives was based on the teachings of John Calvin Left for the new world in 1620 to escape religious persecution and established the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

Total depravity: “In Adam’s fall we sinned all” Humankind is totally sinful through the fall of Adam and Eve (original sin) and damned for eternity. Predestination: You are “elect” (saved) or “unregenerate” (damned). Salvation belongs to the “elect”, or God’s chosen. No good works will help you become saved. Limited atonement: Christ died only for the “elect.” Therefore, only the elect are forgiven for their sins. Irresistible Grace: Though you may not strive for it or even desire it, you will receive God’s grace. After receiving grace, you were “reborn” have thenceforth full power to do the will of God and the ability to live uprightly to the end.

The Puritan community was a theocracy, a government which blends church and state. The church’s officials were the government’s officials. Thus, church and state were not separate. City Upon a Hill Theory: John Winthrop's sermon that declared the new Massachusetts Bay Colony would be a place of complete reform (utopia) where God would be found in scripture and a strong work ethic. Through faith, they strove to be the shining example for America and the world.. Education: A strong belief in education was established in order to read the Word of God. The first public school was founded in 1635 and Harvard College became an icon for educating ministers.

What do we take away from the Puritans, Planters and Pilgrims? Independence, patriotism, industry, practicality, and tolerance. These people were the first to build upon the idea of the American Dream. The idea that a new path could be forged and goals attained. We inherited an emphasis on hard work, a strong sense of religion, duty to country, and freedom from oppression. “One nation. Under God” “Manifest Destiny”
