Paper Summary:
This piece is a analysis of Puritanism. The author starts by discussing how the Puritan religion emerged as a result of the religious and political conflict in England during the 16th century, conflict which the monarchy was unable to alleviate. Then, the author discusses how, the Puritans, who were fed up with the bureaucracy and ritual of traditional Christianity, established a faith built on discipline of faith and the predestination of the Calvinists. After discussing how Puritanism entailed searching for signs that one had been saved, the author shows how some of the Puritans, fleeing religious persecution, established a highly ordered and flourishing colony in New England. The author closes by indicating that the religion eventually failed due to factionalism and a growing desire for personal salvation among its adherents.More papers on Puritanism:
